Heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNets) are large-scale systems that comprise numerous base stations interacting with a significant number of users of diverse types. Finding a trade-off between energy consumption and quality of service is one of the major challenges in these networks. To deal with this issue, a coalitional model predictive control (MPC) approach is proposed for a HetNet powered by renewable power sources, and compared in simulation with the traditional best-signal level mechanism and the centralized MPC method. Furthermore, other key performance indicators associated with grid consumption such as the number of served users and transmission rates are also evaluated.

Abstract
Heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNets) are large-scale systems that comprise numerous base stations interacting with a significant number of users of diverse types. Finding a trade-off between energy consumption and quality of service is one of the major challenges in these networks. To deal with this issue, a coalitional model predictive control (MPC) approach is proposed for a HetNet powered by renewable power sources, and compared in simulation with the traditional best-signal level mechanism and the centralized MPC method. Furthermore, other key performance indicators associated with grid consumption such as the number of served users and transmission rates are also evaluated.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
