    With the growing deployment of cellular networks, operators have to devote significant manual effort to network management. As a result, Self-Organizing Networks (SONs) have become increasingly important in order to raise the level of automated operation in cellular technologies. In this context, Load Balancing (LB) and Handover Optimization (HOO) have been identified by industry as key self-organizing mechanisms for the Radio Access Networks (RANs). However, most efforts have been focused on developing a stand-alone entity for each self-organizing mechanism, which will run in parallel with other entities, as well as designing coordination mechanisms in charge of stabilizing the network as a whole. Due to the importance of LB and HOO, in this paper, a unified self-management mechanism based on Fuzzy Logic and Reinforcement Learning is proposed. In particular, the proposed algorithm modifies handover parameters to optimize the main Key Performance Indicators related to LB and HOO. Results show that the proposed scheme effectively provides better performance than independent entities running simultaneously in the network.

    The infrastructure of current cellular networks must evolve to cope with the increasing demand for mobile-broadband services. Heterogeneous networks are an attractive solution for operators to expand network capacity, based on deploying different Radio Access Technologies, cell sizes and carrier frequencies in the same environment. As a result, operators gain flexibility to distribute traffic across the different networks (or layers) in order to make a more efficient use of resources and enhance network performance. In this work, a dynamic traffic steering technique in multi-RAT multi-layer wireless networks is proposed. In particular, a fuzzy rule-based reinforcement learning algorithm modifies handover parameters according to a specific policy set by the operator, which typically searches for a trade-off between key performance indicators. Results show that the proposed optimization algorithm provides good flexibility to support different policies by simply adjusting some weighting factors. In addition, the Q-Learning algorithm is shown as an effective solution to adapt the network to context variations, such as those produced in the user spatial distribution.

  4. Optimization of load balancing using fuzzy Q-Learning for next generation wireless networks

    Load balancing is considered by the 3GPP as an important issue in Self-Organizing Networks due to its effectiveness to increase network capacity. In next generation wireless networks, load balancing can be easily implemented by tuning handover (HO) margins, achieving a decrease in call blocking. However, call dropping can be increased as a negative effect of the HO-based load balancing, because users usually are handed over to cells where the radio conditions are worse. In this work, a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) optimized by the fuzzy Q-Learning algorithm is proposed for the load balancing problem, with the aim of decreasing call blocking in congested cells, while at the same time restricting call dropping in neighboring cells according to the network policy. In particular, two different approaches for the FLC optimization are evaluated in this work, highlighting that one of the proposed methods allows to accurately preserve the call quality constraint during the load balancing, while the other can adapt to network variations. Results show that the optimized FLC provides a notable reduction in call blocking while preserving call dropping under the operator constraint.

    In the context of Long-Term Evolution (LTE), the next generation mobile telecommunication network, femtocells are low-power base stations that efficiently provide coverage and capacity indoors. This paper presents a computationally efficient dynamic system-level LTE simulator for enterprise femtocell scenarios. The simulator includes specific mobility and traffic and propagation models for indoor environments. A physical layer abstraction is performed to predict link-layer performance with low computational cost. At link layer, two important functions are included to increase network capacity: Link Adaptation and Dynamic Scheduling. At network layer, other Radio Resource Management functionalities, such as Admission Control and Mobility Management, are also included. The resulting tool can be used to test and validate optimization algorithms in the context of Self-Organizing Networks (SON).

    In cellular networks, traffic demand is unevenly distributed both in time and space. This paper investigates the problem of re-distributing traffic demand between LTE femtocells in an enterprise scenario. A performance comparison of several traffic sharing techniques is carried out based on simulations. For this purpose, an efficient dynamic system-level LTE simulator is built. Results show that the combination of directed retry and load sharing by tuning handover margins and transmit power is an effective means to solve localized congestion problems.
