Scalable energy efficient routing in multi-layer femtocell networks

In this paper, we present a data-driven solution to address the energy efficient routing problem in a multi-layer femtocell network. The basic idea is to divide problems into categories by the clustering of traffic demand vectors, and solve a problem by a most suitable algorithm, in terms of throughput, energy consumption and computation time, corresponding to its category. The simulation results show that, our proposed approach can achieve a similar performance in throughput and energy saving as the previous JRN algorithm, by reducing 80% computation time.
