Joint Dynamic Resource Allocation for Coupled Heterogeneous Wireless Networks Based on Hopfield Neural Networks

Abstract

This paper proposes an algorithm to solve the problem of Joint Dynamic Resource Allocation in heterogeneous wireless networks. The algorithm is based on Hopfield Neural Networks to achieve fast and suboptimal solutions. The generic formulation is particularized and evaluated in an HSDPA and 802.11e WLAN coupled networks. Some illustrative simulations results are presented to evaluate the performance of the new algorithm as compared with other strategies. The obtained results confirm the validity of the proposal.
