This paper studies the energy efficiency optimization problem for coordinated multipoint (CoMP)-enabled and backhaul-constrained ultra-dense small-cell networks (UDNs). Energy efficiency is an eternal topic for future wireless communication networks; however, taking actual bottleneck of the backhaul link and the coordinated network architecture into consideration, it is difficult to find an effective way to improve the energy efficiency of the network. Aiming at this problem, we propose to combine cell association, subchannel allocation, backhaul resource allocation, and sleep/on of the cells together to develop an optimization algorithm for energy efficiency in UDN and then solve the formulated energy efficiency optimization problem by means of improved modified particle swarm optimization (IMPSO) and linear programming in mathematics. Simulation results indicate that nearly 13 % energy cost saving and 21 % energy efficiency improvement can be obtained by combining IMPSO with linear programming, and the backhaul link data rate can be improved by 30 % as the number of small cells increases. From the results, it can be found that by combining IMPSO with linear programming, the proposed algorithm can improve the network energy efficiency effectively at the expense of limited complexity.

Game theoretical approaches have been used to develop distributed resource allocation technologies for cognitive heterogeneous networks. In this chapter, we present a novel distributed resource allocation strategy for cognitive small cell networks based on orthogonal frequency-division multiple access. In particular, we consider a heterogeneous network consisting of macrocell networks overlaid with cognitive small cells that opportunistically access the available spectrum. We focus on a regret-matching game approach, aiming at maximizing the total throughput of the small cell network subject to cross-tier interference and quality of service (QoS) constraints. The regret-matching game approach exploits a regret procedure to learn the optimal resource allocation strategy from the regrets of the actions of cognitive users. Furthermore, the regret-matching game approach is extended to the joint resource allocation and user admission control problem. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed regre-matching approaches.
