Abstract
Heterogeneous small cell networks with overlay femtocells and macrocell is a promising solution for future heterogeneous wireless cellular communications. However, great resilience is needed in heterogeneous small cells in case of accidents, attacks, and natural disasters. In this article, we first describe the network architecture of DRHSCNs, where several self-organization inspired approaches are applied. Based on the proposed resilient heterogeneous small cell network architecture, self-configuring (power, physical cell ID, and neighbor cell list self-configuration) and self-optimizing (coverage and capacity optimization and mobility robustness optimization) techniques are investigated in the DRHSCN. Simulation results show that self-configuration and self-optimization can effectively improve the performance of the deployment and operation of small cell networks in disaster scenarios.Keywords
