User association strategies in HetNets leading to rate balancing under energy constraints

Abstract This paper deals with the development of several strategies for associating users to base stations (BSs) in heterogeneous networks. These strategies are able to balance the rate among users and BSs and increase the overall network utility. Constraints related to the energy availability at B...
