“…Very few research efforts have been made by considering user mobility and content caching jointly. Some schemes such as the work of Coucheney et al consider either users' mobility or users' file demand information. Besides, there exist few contributions that considered mobility and caching together such as users' mobility‐aware caching and user‐association and user behavior aware cell‐association .…”

Reactive LB schemes ignore incipient cell congestion and activate CIOs after one or more cells become congested.…”

Evolution of cellular networks into dynamic, dense, and heterogeneous networks have introduced new challenges for cell resource optimization, especially in the imbalanced traffic load regions. Numerous load balancing schemes have been proposed to tackle this issue; however, they operate in a reactive manner that confines their ability to meet the top‐notch quality of experience demands. To address this challenge, we propose a novel proactive load balancing scheme. Our framework learns users' mobility and demands statistics jointly to proactively cache future contents during their stay at lightly loaded cells, which results in quality of experience maximization and load minimization. System level simulations are performed and compared with the state‐of‐the‐art reactive schemes.

This paper develops a model evaluating the impact of mobility in heterogeneous wireless networks by the way of analytical expressions of the spatio-temporal evolution of QoS indicators. Such formulas are obtained by introducing a multiuser averaged mobility pattern named density of users. Among the set of densities, we use a Gaussian form of this quantity, which results from a modeling method based on the maximum entropy principle. Numerical results show the temporal variations of the QoS indicators and highlight the combined effects of network heterogeneity due to the presence of macro and small cells, and traffic variations due to mobility.

The fifth generation (5G) mobile networks are envisioned to support the deluge of data traffic with reduced energy consumption and improved quality of service (QoS) provision. To this end, the key enabling technologies, such as heterogeneous networks (HetNets), massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and millimeter wave (mmWave) techniques, are identified to bring 5G to fruition. Regardless of the technology adopted, a user association mechanism is needed to determine whether a user is associated with a particular base station (BS) before the data transmission commences. User association plays a pivotal role in enhancing the load balancing, the spectrum efficiency and the energy efficiency of networks. The emerging 5G networks introduce numerous challenges and opportunities for the design of sophisticated user association mechanisms. Hence, substantial research efforts are dedicated to the issues of user association in HetNets, massive MIMO networks, mmWave networks and energy harvesting networks. We introduce a taxonomy as a framework for systematically studying the existing user association algorithms. Based on the proposed taxonomy, we then proceed to present an extensive overview of the state-of-the-art in user association conceived for HetNets, massive MIMO, mmWave and energy harvesting networks. Finally, we summarize the challenges as well as opportunities of user association in 5G and provide design guidelines and potential solutions for sophisticated user association mechanisms.Comment: 26 pages; accepted to appear in IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorial
