Cell Selection Game in 5G Heterogeneous Networks

摘要

Recently, the deployment of small-cell with overlay coverage has emerged as a reliable solution for 5G heterogeneous network (Het-Nets). While they provide useful properties, these architectures bring several challenges in network management, including interference alignment, extensive back-hauling, and cell selection within HetNets. In this work, we model the cell selection paradigm in 5G HetNets using a non-cooperative game-theoretic framework, and we show that it admits an equilibrium using mixed strategy Nash Equilibrium (NE) method.
