Abstract
This letter considers a problem of associating users to small-cell base stations (sBSs) and selecting a set of operating sBSs in a small-cell network to minimize the power consumption. We derive a message passing algorithm to obtain a solution distributively. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to the conventional schemes.
