Coexistence of heterogeneous networks such as cellular, wireless local area network (WLAN), ultra-wideband (UWB) etc. brings new challenges. It is perceived that current radio resource management mechanism cannot meet the requirements of multi-radio access technologies (multi-RATs). This paper proposes a novel intelligent multi-agent radio resource management system, which is self-organized and distributed to ensure the coexistence of multi-RATs. Radio resource is managed by a macro control and management system using control factors and validation mechanism, instead of micro control for individual users. The goal is to increase radio resource utilization efficiency, maximize system capacity and meet the QoS requirements of different services
