Cooperation Techniques and Architecture for Multi-access Radio Resource Management

Next-generation wireless networks will be a conglomeration of different networks technologies and will support multiple radio access technologies (Multi-RATs). This will put high demands on radio resource management support. In this paper, we describe an intelligent multi-agent radio resource management system, which is self-organized and distributed to ensure the coexistence of multi-RATs. This paper discusses how to implement macro control and management by using control factors instead of micro control concerning individual users, and also describes the mechanism of coexistence of multi-RATs. Further, message flow and open questions are discussed
