To handle unprecedented mobile data demands in the next-generation 5G networks, dense deployments of base stations is the most promising solution. However, dense deployments not only leads to co-channel interference but also the underutilization of wireless resources in most scenarios. One way to maximize the gains of such deployments is to allow inter-operator collaborations where multiple operators can share their base stations and licensed spectrum with each other users. In addition to outdoor base stations, ultra-dense deployment of small cells such as femtocells inside homes/offices/public areas can further improve frequency reuse and system throughput. Femtocells are usually owned by end-users who are often reluctant to share them with other users due to trust and performance concerns. Hence, apart from operator collaboration, it is necessary to have collaborations among end-users to share femtocells. In this direction, we propose a unique cellular communication paradigm called Socio-Cellular Network along with an efficient cell selection scheme to facilitate operator and user collaborations to share base stations. Our simulation results show that collaborations among operators and end-users via social networks help to improve the performance of cellular networks in terms of throughput and energy efficiency.
