An Automated Dynamic Offset for Network Selection in
Heterogeneous Networks
Abstract
Complementing traditional cellular networks with the option of integrated small
cells and WiFi access points can be used to further boost the overall traffic capacity
and service level. Small cells along with WiFi access points are projected to carry
over 60% of all the global data traffic by 2015. With the integration of small cells
on the radio access network levels, there is a focus on providing operators with
more control over small cell selection while reducing the feedback burden.
Altogether, these issues motivate the need for innovative distributed and
autonomous association policies that operate on each user under the network
operator’s control, utilizing only partial information, yet achieving near optimal
solutions for the network. In this paper, we propose a load-aware network
selection approach applied to automated dynamic offset in heterogeneous
networks (HetNets). In particular, we investigate the properties of a hierarchical
(Stackelberg) Bayesian game framework, in which the macro cell dynamically
chooses the offset about the state of the channel in order to guide users to perform
intelligent network selection decisions between macro cell and small cell networks.
We derive analytically the utility related to the channel quality perceived by users
to obtain the equilibria, and compare it to the fully centralized (optimal), the full
channel state information and the non-cooperative (autonomous) models. Building
upon these results, we effectively address the problem of how to intelligently
configure a dynamic offset which optimizes network’s global utility while users
maximize their individual utilities. One of the technical contributions of the paper
lies in obtaining explicit characterizations of the dynamic offset at the equilibrium
and the related performances in terms of the price of anarchy. Interestingly, it turns
out that the complexity of the algorithm for finding the dynamic offset of the
Stackelberg model is O(n4) (where n is the number of users). It is shown that the
proposed hierarchical mechanism keeps the price of anarchy almost equal to 1
even for a low number of users, and remains bounded above by the non-
cooperative model
Existing system
To cope with the rapidly increasing demand for mobile data driven largely by
mobile video and personal communications, low power base stations (BSs) are
being deployed in dense urban areas to complement the existing cellular
architecture. Densification of the network with SCs is a way to get more capacity
from existing spectrum. This results in shifting the spectrum equation as the
comparison between spectrum costs and SC costs has changed dramatically. Both
engineers and academics are still working out ways for SCs and WiFi APs to
integrate seamlessly with macro BSs and with one another. Network access
selection is a major concern.
Proposed system
This paper is to design a dynamic offset which enables operators to steer traffic in
order to provide a better user experience and enable the operator to move traffic
from the cellular network. To do so, we have proposed a Bayesian hierarchical load-
aware association method where partial asymmetric information from the MC and
the SC are available in making optimal network selection decisions. The users’
network selection decision is guided by CQI messages conveyed to the mobile users
by the MC. Our main result is that we have shown that, in order to maximize its
revenue, the network operator – rather than increasing the throughput (which is
costly and energy inefficient) – can drive the users to the MC network by a proper
choice of information to transmit. We notably propose an algorithm for finding the
dynamic offset for the Stackelberg model whose complexity is polynomial in the
number of users. It turns out that the channel quality indicator the operator should
choose is either very small or very large in comparison to the one maximizing the
global throughput of both systems. We have also observed that the dynamic offset
Ψ at the Stackelberg equilibrium is decreasing with the number of active users n.
This is to say that when n grows, users can connect more often to the SC network
without wasting the MC resources, which results in a smaller Ψ above which users
connect to SC. One important consequence is that any mechanism aim in gat
stimulating the use of the MC network only through a small amount of proper
signaling, should concentrate on doing it for smaller number of users. Furthermore,
we have observed that the PoA of the proposed hierarchical mechanism is almost
equal to 1 even for a low number of users, and remains bounded above by the non-
cooperative model as the number of users grows. Achieving these results offers
hope that such a smart mechanism can be designed around SC integration in
HetNets and can be implemented using the notion of Cell Selection Bias (CSB)
proposed by LTE standards.
