Preface

With the fast development of wireless communications, users nowadays are no longer satisfied with just being connected but pursue excellent service experience. Accordingly, how to promote users’ QoE (quality of experience) beyond traditional QoS (quality of service) has received great attention from academia and industry in recent years. To this end, this book provides a systematic study on user-centric optimization idea from the perspective of network selection in 5G heterogeneous networks, where (i) the features of user demand are analyzed and characterized for optimizing QoE, which, in turn, drives us to rethink the optimization process in resource management, and (ii) end users can play a more active role in improvi
