Sum-Rate Maximizing Cell Association via Dual-Connectivity

الأصل · EN

This paper proposes a dual-connectivity (DC) profile allocation algorithm, in which a central macro base station (MBS) is underlaid with randomly scattered small base stations (SBSs), operating on different carrier frequencies. We introduce two dual-connectivity profiles and the differences among them. We utilize the characteristics of dual-connectivity profiles and their applying scenarios to reduce feasible combination set to consider. Algorithm analysis and numerical results verify that our proposed algorithm achieve the optimal algorithm's performance within 5 % gap with quite low complexity up to 10⁶ times.
