Decentralized Resource Allocation in Femtocell Networks Based on Game Theory and Markov Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The potential massive deployment of femto access points requires femtocell networks to be able to self-configure, with a special attention to interference management. Within this context, game theory represents a solid tool to devise decentralized algorithms for dynamic resource allocation. In this paper, we propose alternative game-theoretic techniques that exploit the backhaul link among femto-access points to set up local coordination games which provide performance advantages with respect to purely competitive games. Our optimization techniques incorporate a Markovian model of the interference activity and propose alternative pricing mechanisms to allocate power in the joint time-frequency plane. ∗This work was funded by the European Community 7th Framework Programme Project ICT-FREEDOM, under grant nr. 248891. Part of this work will be presented at ICASSP 2011.

Femtocells widely deployed in a macrocell form hierarchical cell networks, which can improve indoor coverage and network capacity, and have been regarded as one of the most promising approaches. However owing to the absence of coordination between the macro and femtocells, and among femtocells, decentralized spectrum allocation between macro and femtocell users become technically challenging. I...
