Abstract:This paper addresses the user association problem in a multi-cell broadcast transmission. We seek minimal total energy consumption by considering both transmission power and operational power cost. We propose a novel distributed solution based on network utility games and using so-called Markovian approximation we design the distributed base station (BS) selection algorithm. Extensive simulation results are provided and highlight the relative performance of the algorithm.
