Inter-layer resource management for hierarchical cell structures
Guevara Noubir · 2002
Hierarchical cell structures (HCS) provide flexibility in handling non-homogenous traffic, but raises several problems to be efficiently deployed. In this paper, we show when and how resources can be shared between layers (e.g., TDMA frame partitioning between layers). We also provide several algorithms for inter-layer resource management (handover, admission control, congestion/load control).
