APG mergence and topological potential optimization based heuristic user association strategy by Zhirui HU, Meihua BI, Fangmin XU, Meilin HE, Changliang ZHENG

“…Methods:The network scalable degree was designed as a measure of scalability,and then a user association strategy to improve network scalable degree was studied by using optimization theory. 1) For modelling the optimization problem, firstly, the network coupling degree, representing the degree of association among nodes, was constructed to establish the mathematical relationship between the network scalable degree and AP group (APG).Thus,the problem of improving the network scalable degree was modeled as the problem of minimizing the network coupling degree.Then,a multi-objective optimization problem of minimum network coupling degree and maximum user rate was established to find the balance between network scalable degree and network service quality. 2) For solving the optimization problem,to avoid the high computational complexity,a heuristic user association strategy based on APG mergence and topological potential optimization was proposed.With the proposed algorithm,the number of APG could be reduced by APG mergence,and the number of APG that AP belongs to could be reduced by AP exiting APG. …”
