This document summarizes a research paper that proposes using a Finite Horizon Markov Decision Process (FHMDP) to optimize Wi-Fi offloading in heterogeneous networks. The paper begins by explaining that existing Wi-Fi offloading approaches have limitations. It then proposes formulating the offloading problem as an FHMDP to minimize costs while meeting delay constraints. The paper describes the FHMDP model and algorithm, and argues it can improve offloading performance by reducing user contention and prioritizing high data rates. Simulation results show the FHMDP approach achieves lower communication costs compared to existing algorithms. In conclusion, the FHMDP is presented as an effective method for optimizing Wi-Fi offloading across cellular and Wi-Fi
