DANCE: a game-theoretical femtocell channel exchange mechanism

The femtocell system is an efficient solution to increase the wireless systems coverage. However, femtocells may experience spatially diverse interferences. A proper exchange on the channels between femtocells can improve the transmission experience. We proposed game-theoretical DANCE mechanism to derive the optimal allocation in the femtocell channel allocation problem. The simulation results showed that DANCE mechanism can enhance the channel allocation efficiency significantly.
