Dual Connectivity User Association in 5G Mobile Asymmetric Multi-RAT Heterogeneous Networks
摘要
Dual connectivity (DC) allows mobile users to connect to two base stations (BSs) simultaneously, increasing data rates and improving connection stability. However, DC requires careful resource management to balance quality of service (QoS), especially in uplink-heavy services where mobile device power can be a limitation. This work focuses on DC scheduling in multi-RAT heterogeneous networks (HetNets), determining suitable connection modes and targets for mobile users to boost network capacity. We model it as an integer nonlinear programming (INLP) problem and propose a solution based on triple optimal matching and spectral clustering for a near-optimal result. Simulations show this method improves individual user data rates without significantly affecting overall system throughput.
