Abstract
Fifth generation (5G) dense small cell networks (SCNs) are expected to meet the thousand-fold mobile traffic challenge within the next few years. When developing solution schemes for resource allocation problems in such networks, conventional centralized control is no longer viable due to excessive computational complexity and large signaling overhead caused by the large number of users and network nodes in such a network. Instead, distributed resource allocation (or decision making) methods with low complexity would be desirable to make the network self-organizing and autonomous. Minority game (MG) has recently gained attention of the research community as a tool to model and solve distributed resource allocation problems. The main objective of this article is to study the applicability of the MG to solve the distributed decision making problems in future wireless networks. We present…
