Abstract

Future Mobile Heterogeneous Cellular Networks are emerging as promising technology in terms of high speed, low latency and ubiquitous connectivity. Providing energy efficient services in exponentially increasing user size and rigorous utilization of mobile services is a key challenge for mobile operators. The mobile operators deployed dense small cells to enhance the network capacity for providing the network services to maximum users. Instead of fully utilize of the existing deployment, operators leads to enhance the number of small cell base stations to enhance the network coverage. When the number of small cells increases, the energy consumption of the cellular network also increases. Thus a resource efficient, cost effective and energy efficient solution is required to control the deployment of new base station that consequently enhance the energy efficiency. In this paper, an efficient resource allocation and utilization model is proposed using Cognitive Fusion Centre (CFC). Where the CFC has Resource State Information (RSI) of the network resources and manages the free available resources. It helps in generating resource segment to facilitate the incoming users at peak hours. The propose solution can be deployed to any dense environment for maximum resource utilization.
