Abstract:Cellular networks are becoming increasingly heterogeneous with higher base station (BS) densities and ever more frequency bands, making BS selection and band assignment key decisions in terms of rate and coverage. In this paper, we decompose the mobility-aware user association task into (i) forecasting of user rate and then (ii) convex utility maximization for user association accounting for the effects of BS load and handover overheads. Using a linear combination of normalized mean-squared error (NMSE) and no… Show more
