User Association in5GNetworks: A Game‐Theoretic Approach

Abstract

In future fifth generation (5G) and beyond wireless technologies, ultra‐dense networks (UDNs) will be employed to serve a massive number of devices with mobile access. One of the major challenges in UDNs is user association, which is essential for dealing with intra‐ and intercell interference. In this work, we investigate two user association problems aiming to optimize two different network parameters and solve them via a game‐theoretical approach. Specifically, the effectiveness of coalitional games is shown in this work through the form of coalition game algorithms for resource allocation.
