Cooperative distributed optimization for the hyper-dense small cell deployment

The fifth generation mobile networks will be developed to improve area spectral and energy efficiency, and provide uniform user experience. Hyper-dense small cell deployment can move devices closer to the wireless network and satisfy 5G system requirements. The main challenge of this network deployment results from the random deployment, dynamic on-off, flexible connection to cellular core networks, and flat system architecture of 5G systems. Therefore, conventional network planning and radio resource management, which depend on a central control node, cannot be applied to small cell networks. In this article some cooperative distributed radio resource management algorithms for time synchronization, carrier selection, and power control are discussed for hyper-dense small cell deployment.
