K-means for Association of Small Cell BSs

2022-01-11

Simulation of the paper “On the Association of Small Cell Base Stations with UAVs using Unsupervised Learning”.

In this simulation, we attempted to replicate Figure 2 and Figure 3. We also conducted additional simulations to further explore the topic.

materni.m implements both the Matérn I pattern generation and the k-means clustering algorithm.

Proposed algorithm

The k-means algorithm is a popular unsupervised machine learning algorithm used for clustering data into distinct groups. Here is a summary of the k-means algorithm:
