Automated Self-Optimization in Heterogeneous Wireless Communications Networks

Abstract: Traditional single-tiered wireless communications networks cannot scale to satisfy exponentially rising demand. Operators are increasing capacity by densifying their existing macro cell deployments with co-channel small cells. However, cross-tier interference and load balancing issues present new optimization challenges in channel sharing heterogeneous networks (HetNets). One-size-fits-all heuristics for allocating resources are highly suboptimal, but designing ad hoc controllers requires significant human expertise and manual fine-tuning. In this paper, a unified, flexible, and fully automated approach for end-to-end optimization in multi-layer HetNets is presented. A hill climbing algorithm is developed for reconfiguring cells in real time in order to track dynamic traffic patterns. Schedulers for allocating spectrum to user equipment are automatically synthesized using grammar-based genetic programming. The proposed methods for configuring the HetNet and scheduling in the time-frequency domain can address ad hoc objective
