Cooperative Networking in a Heterogeneous Wireless Medium

This brief focuses on radio resource allocation in a heterogeneous wireless medium. It presents radio resource allocation algorithms with decentralized implementation, which support both single finetwork and multi—homing services. The brief provides a set of cooperative networking algorithms, which rely on the concepts of short—term call traffic load prediction, network cooperation, convex optimization, and decomposition theory. In the proposed solutions, mobile terminals play an active rol...
