“…The remaining simulation parameters are presented in Table 3. Farzi et al [34] in their work on zone-based load balancing in two-tier HetNet considered three different distances of 150, 250 and 350 m between picocell and macrocell base station. In this our study, we will consider the longest distance which is 350 m and that will serve as our link distance.…”

Fibreless optics or free space optical communications (FSOC) has been at the forefront of many academic research in telecommunications due to its numerous benefits of large spectrum, high-speed data transmission, security, low transmit power, unlicensed spectrum and non-interfering links. Among the technical challenges of dense deployment of small cells in heterogeneous networks (HetNet) is a flexible and cost-effective backhaul link. This paper proposes, designs, simulates and evaluates the performance of a 350 m FSOC link under different atmospheric impairments for picocell to macrocell backhauling applications. The performance of the FSOC link is assessed by evaluating bit error rate (BER), eye diagram and quality factor (Q-factor). Results obtained recommend the FSOC link deployment for pico-macrocell backhauling under the weather conditions of clear sky with/without turbulence, heavy rain, heavy haze, heavy fog and wet snow.

“…The third way uses device-todevice communications to offload users in overloaded cells, e.g., [14]. Recently, Farzi et al proposed a game-theoretic approach with the consideration of two-tier cellular networks to improve load distribution among heterogeneous cells [15]. Each macrocell and its associated picocells play a game to distribute the load among themselves.…”

Densely deploying small cells will be a solution to provide explosive data requirements in fifth-generation networks. Because users often cluster together in popular locations of an urban area, congested small cells in the popular sites are also gathered. Traditional load balancing schemes generally only consider neighboring cells when offloading users are not suitable for clusters of overloaded cells. This paper considers groups of overloaded cells in the load balancing problem. The objective is to maximize the quality-of-service satisfaction ratio. To solve the problem, we propose a multidepth offloading algorithm with the consideration of the radio resource allocation. The proposed multidepth offloading algorithm can be applied no matter that congested small cells are gathered or not. Compared with a previous offloading algorithm and a baseline, the simulation results show that our proposed algorithm can increase 16% QoS satisfaction ratio in a real user distribution and 13% QoS satisfaction ratio in a clustered user placement.

“…Cournot game theory [1] was proposed in 1838. Many researchers, such as Nash [2], Von Neumann, and Morgenstern [3], have since made landmark contributions to the development of game theory, which has become a powerful analytic tool in fields outside economics, such as cyberspace security [4][5][6][7][8], power systems [9,10], cytobiology [11], image processing [12], human-machine systems [13], artificial intelligence [14,15], safety engineering [16,17], nuclear security [18], oncology [19], system control [20], and information science [21]. Considering the powerful dynamic characterization ability of difference equations, the discrete dynamical game with integer-order difference equations has become an important research direction in industrial economics field.…”

We reconsider the Cournot duopoly problem in light of the theory for long memory. We introduce the Caputo fractional-order difference calculus to classical duopoly theory to propose a fractional-order discrete Cournot duopoly game model, which allows participants to make decisions while making full use of their historical information. Then we discuss Nash equilibria and local stability by using linear approximation.Finally, we detect the chaos of the model by employing a 0-1 test algorithm.
