This brief focuses on radio resource allocation in a heterogeneous
wireless medium. It presents radio resource allocation algorithms with
decentralized implementation, which support both single-network and
multi-homing services. The brief provides a set of cooperative
networking algorithms, which rely on the concepts of short-term call
traffic load prediction, network cooperation, convex optimization, and
decomposition theory. In the proposed solutions, mobile terminals play
an active role in the resource allocation operation, instead of their
traditional role as passive service recipients in the networking
environment.
