Abstract:

In the ultra-dense networks (UDN), dense and random deployment of the femto-cell base station (FBS) can cause severe inter-cell interference. In order to mitigate interference and guarantee the quality of service (QoS), a cluster-based resource allocation scheme in UDN is proposed. Firstly, an improved K-means clustering algorithm based on weighted density is designed to dynamically divide the FBS into different clusters. Then, aiming at maximizing the throughput of the UDN system, a two-stage time-frequency resource allocation scheme is proposed. In the first stage, the allocation of time-frequency resource blocks is performed by using a greedy algorithm in each cluster. In the second stage, the resource compensation allocation algorithm is proposed to allocate the remaining resource blocks to ensure user QoS while considering user fairness. The simulation results show that the proposed resource allocation scheme can effectively improve the system throughput while ensuring user QoS and fairness.

Key words: ultra-dense network (UDN), clustering, resource allocation, quality of service (QoS), fairness
