Abstract :
With the ever growing demand for the wireless traffic it is becoming difficult to meet the demand for the service providers with the existing infrastructure. Infrastructure expansion is a very expensive option for the cellular operators. At the same time there exists huge underutilized infrastructure of fixed landline telephone network. The proposed model tries to exploit this idle infrastructure for reducing the load on the wireless spectrum by appropriate call forwarding strategy.
