Abstract
To support the continuing growth in the amount of mobile cellular traffic, small cell deployments represent a promising option. In small cell deployments, the combined usage of user association and inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) is inevitable. Furthermore, higher frequency bands are also expected to be one of the promising solutions. This paper investigates user association and radio resource allocation combined with ICIC in small cell deployments using multiple frequency bands. The optimum user association and resource allocation for the multiple frequency bands are derived by solving a convex optimization problem based on proportional fair criteria. The performance in various small cell deployment scenarios with multiple frequency bands is investigated, and in all scenarios, the algorithm outputs the optimum user association and resource allocation.
