Efficient User Association Strategy for Maximizing User Satisfaction and Resource Utilization in Heterogeneous Cloud Radio Access Networks (H-CRANs)

Abstract

The primary aim of this study is to present a User Association Strategy that can effectively optimize the Heterogeneous Cloud Radio Access Network (H CRAN). The primary objective of this strategy is to enhance customer satisfaction by optimizing the utilization of available network resources, such as transmission power and bandwidth. To achieve this objective, the proposed approach employs a logarithmic barrier function to address inequality constraints and transform the optimization problem into a formulation that facilitates effective convergence towards the optimal solution.
