Abstract

In this paper, we study the relay-aided cooperative modeling that supports the load-sharing in uplink two-tier cellular networks. In our model, users in heavily loaded macrocell are shifted to lightly loaded smallcells with the assistance of relay users to mitigate Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) degradation problem in conventional direct handover. In order to promote relaying data of users which are selfish and rational, a trading exchange model based on Stackelberg game is proposed to optimize strategies of users. Relay users have pricing-based strategies on theirs power unit while shifted heavily loaded macrocell users have strategies to buy power levels of relay users. Optimal strategies are investigated using the backward induction analysis. Specifically, problems of NP-hard combinatorial optimization in relay user selections in the game are solved with a distributed algorithm based on matching theory. We intensively evaluate our proposed model by simulating it in Matlab which shows the efficiency of our proposal.
