Abstract
The chapter, which focuses on the resource management for 4G networks, is organized into five sections: the first section describes the results obtained in COST 2100 on RRM strategies; the second section deals with modeling, prediction and classification of traffic; the third section addresses radio resource management for LTE networks; the fourth section deals with CRRM in heterogeneous wireless networks; finally, the last section discusses trends and resource topics.

Notes
- 1.
Traffic volume leads to the number of required channels.
- 2.
Location of users leads to required transmission powers that lead to the interference situation that leads to the size of the coverage area.
