A Submodular Optimization Framework for Outage-Aware Cell Association in Heterogeneous Cellular Networks

In cellular heterogeneous networks (HetNets), offloading users to small cell base stations (SBSs) leads to a degradation in signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and results in high outage probabilities for offloaded users. In this paper, we propose a novel framework to solve the cell assoc...
