Joint resource allocation for dual — Band heterogeneous wireless network

In this paper, we investigate downlink resource allocation in two-tier OFDMA heterogeneous networks comprising a macrocell transmitting at a microwave frequency and dual band small cells utilizing both microwave and millimeter wave frequencies. A non — cooperative game theoretic approach is proposed for adaptively switching the small cell transmission frequency based on the location of small cell users and interference to macrocell users. We propose a resource allocation approach which maximizes the sum rate of small cell users while minimizing interference to macrocell users and the total power consumption. The performance of the proposed resource allocation solution is evaluated via rigorous MATLAB simulations.
