From the perspective of a single user, concurrent utilization of all available radio access
technologies (RATs) is always beneficial for increasing individual data rate. However, given

From the perspective of a single user, concurrent utilization of all available radio access technologies (RATs) is always beneficial for increasing individual data rate. However, given the interactions among users, occupying multiple RATs at each user might not be optimal from a network-wide viewpoint. In this paper, we explore the answer to the posed question what is the optimal access strategy in multi-RAT cellular networks, solving a distributed RAT access control problem for maximizing network throughput. With stochastic geometry, we analytically evaluate network throughputs for two different access modes: 1) single RAT access (altruistic access) and 2) simultaneous multiple RATs access (selfish access). Comparing the network throughputs for the two modes, we first show that the network throughput can be maximized by properly mixing the two access modes and then derive the optimal portions of each mode in a network, which motivates a distributed RAT access control in a probabilistic sense. The optimal mixture of the two modes controls scheduling contention and interference among users to maximize the network throughput. We also analyze the effects of various system parameters, such as the number of frequency sub-bands for each RAT, user density, and access point density, on the optimal portions of the two access modes.
