This paper explores radio resource management for a time-varying 5G heterogeneous wireless access network, decomposing the process into RAT selection, optimal radio resource allocation, and congestion control to maximize average throughput utility while maintaining network stability. The proposed approach is evaluated through theoretical and simulation results, demonstrating its effectiveness in comparison to traditional mechanisms.
In this paper, we explore radio resource management for a time-varying 5G heterogeneous wireless access network that includes multi-RATs such as 5G new radio (NR) and long-term evolution (LTE). To cope with the practical challenges of a centralized approach such as signalling overhead and computational complexity, we decomposed the process of radio resource management into three parts, 1) RAT selection, 2) optimal radio resource allocation, and 3) congestion control. RAT selection is performed by each user device with network assistance, whereas the problem of radio resource allocation and congestion control is formulated as a stochastic optimization problem. Maintaining network stability, the average throughput utility is maximized subject to admission control and resource allocation. By using Lyapunov optimization, this utility maximization problem is decomposed into two subproblems. Radio resource allocation policy implemented at the central controller node allocates resources at each time slot using the Lagrange dual method, whereas the process of congestion control is carried out at user end based on throughput adaptation according to its current channel conditions. The theoretical and simulation results evaluate the performance of our proposed approach under the assumption of network stability. Simulation results related to individual users throughput and queue length, and performance comparison of equal power and adaptive power allocation techniques, are presented to depict the effectiveness of our proposed scheme. Furthermore, our proposed RAT selection scheme performs better than the traditional centralized and distributive mechanisms.
