    As heterogeneous networks (HetNets) emerge as one of the most promising developments toward realizing the target specifications of Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) networks, radio resource management (RRM) research for such networks has, in recent times, been intensively pursued. Clearly, recent research mainly concentrates on the aspect of interference mitigation. Other RRM aspects, such as radio resource utilization, fairness, complexity, and QoS, have not been given much attention. In this paper, we aim to provide an overview of the key challenges arising from HetNets and highlight their importance. Subsequently, we present a comprehensive survey of the RRM schemes that have been studied in recent years for LTE/LTE-A HetNets, with a particular focus on those for femtocells and relay nodes. Furthermore, we classify these RRM schemes according to their underlying approaches. In addition, these RRM schemes are qualitatively analyzed and compared to each other. We also identify a number of potential research directions for future RRM development. Finally, we discuss the lack of current RRM research and the importance of multi-objective RRM studies

    Worldwide deployment of heterogeneous wireless networks is growing as a result of consumer demand for connectivity at all times and in all places. These customers' interest in multimedia apps like video streaming and VoIP, which demand tight Quality of Service (QoS) support, is growing at the same time. With such limitations, provisioning network resources is a difficult undertaking. In fact, it might be challenging for a network operator to identify trustworthy criteria to choose the optimum network that ensures user happiness while maximising network utilisation, given the availability of numerous access technologies (WiFi, WiMAX, or cellular networks). To solve this problem, each eNB just needs to learn the traffi c conditions or patterns of its owncell in our proposal. Wireless communication systems depend heavily on radio resource management (RRM). To ensure the efficient and successful operation of wireless networks, it involves the allocation and control of radio frequency spectrum, power, and other resources. RRM is significant because it can use scarce radio resources as efficiently as possible, enhancing capacity, lowering interference, and improving service quality. Successful deployment and operation of wireless communication systems like cellular networks, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth depend on effective RRM approaches. The need for wireless communication is growing, and new technologies and standards are constantly being developed. The methodology of radio resource management (RRM) involves a variety of techniques and algorithms designed to allocate radio resources in a way that maximizes network performance while minimizing interference. Taken as alternate parameter is Laser communication, optical networks, satellite optical communication, vibrations, satellite networks. Taken as is solar radiation power, thermal bending, micro meteorite impact, solar and lunar gravity, earth oblations method. satellite optical communication has reached near 2000 data set compare other data set. The operation of wireless communication networks depends on radio resource management (RRM). Wireless networks would have interference, congestion, and a lacklustre level of service if effective RRM procedures weren't used. RRM is therefore a key component in ensuring that wireless communication systems can provide users with dependable and high-quality services

    Femtocell is a promising technology that intends in solving the indoor coverage problems so as to enhance the cell capacity. The overall network performance, in turn depends on the access methods used by the femtocells. The access method is used to identify about the user’s connectivity with the femtocell network. There are three access mechanisms defined in Third Generation partnership Project (3GPP) specification for Long Term Evolution (LTE) femtocells: open, closed and hybrid access mechanisms. Hybrid access mechanism is mostly preferred by the network for the effective utilization of resources. But, it is important to regulate the proper scheduling scheme for them. In this paper, scheduling in femtocell is investigated, where, among the non subscribers, preference is given to the users who have high throughput priority metric, thereby increasing overall throughput of the network

    EMB: Efficient Multimedia Broadcast in Multi-tier Mobile Networks

    Multimedia broadcast and multicast services (MBMS) in mobile networks has been widely addressed, however an investigation of such a technology in emerging, multi-tier, scenarios is still lacking. Notably, user clustering and resource allocation are extremely challenging in multi-tier networks, and imperative to maximize system capacity and improve quality of user-experience (QoE) in MBMS. Thus, in this paper we propose a clustering and resource allocation approach, named EMB, which specifically addresses heterogeneous networks and accounts for the fact that multimedia content is adaptively encoded into scalable layers depending on the QoE requirements and channel conditions of the heterogeneous users. Importantly, we prove that our clustering algorithm yields Pareto efficient broadcasting areas, multimedia encoding parameters, and re- source allocation, in a way that is also fair to the users. Fur- thermore, numerical results obtained under realistic conditions and using real-world video content, show that the proposed EMB results in lower churn count (i.e., higher number of served users), higher throughput, and increased QoE, while using fewer network resources

    Robust Channel Estimation in Multiuser Downlink 5G Systems Under Channel Uncertainties

    In wireless communication, the performance of the network highly relies on the accuracy of channel state information (CSI). On the other hand, the channel statistics are usually unknown, and the measurement information is lost due to the fading phenomenon. Therefore, we propose a channel estimation approach for downlink communication under channel uncertainty. We apply the Tobit Kalman filter (TKF) method to estimate the hidden state vectors of wireless channels. To minimize the maximum estimation error, a robust minimax minimum estimation error (MSE) estimation approach is developed while the QoS requirements of wireless users is taken into account. We then formulate the minimax problem as a non-cooperative game to find an optimal filter and adjust the best behavior for the worst-case channel uncertainty. We also investigate a scenario in which the actual operating point is not exactly known under model uncertainty. Finally, we investigate the existence and characterization of a saddle point as the solution of the game. Theoretical analysis verifies that our work is robust against the uncertainty of the channel statistics and able to track the true values of the channel states. Additionally, simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the model in terms of MSE value over related techniques
