© 2017 IEEE.This paper incorporates fog networking into heterogeneous cellular networks that are composed of a high power node (HPN) and many low power nodes (LPNs). The locations of the fog nodes that are upgraded from LPNs are specified by modifying the unsupervised soft-clustering machine learning algorithm with the ultimate aim of reducing latency. The clusters are constructed accordingly so that the leader of each cluster becomes a fog node. The proposed approach significantly reduces the latency with respect to the simple, but practical, Voronoi tessellation model, however the improvement is bounded and saturates. Hence, closed-loop error control systems will be challenged in meeting the demanding latency requirement of 5G systems, so that open-loop communication may be required to meet the 1ms latency requirement of 5G networks.
