As one of the Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP) techniques, Joint Transmission (JT) can
improve the overall system performance. In this paper, from the load balancing perspective …

In this paper, we propose a distributed load balancing algorithm with adaptive bias
adjustment for LTE/LTE-A HetNets. We have formulated the problem as a local sum utility …

We extend the problem of optimizing user association for load balancing in cellular networks
along 2-dimensions. First, we consider joint transmission, which is one of the coordinated …

Load balancing are urgently required in the multiple overlapping area design in
heterogeneous network (Het-Net) for the long-term evolution advanced (LTE-A) to maintain …

Heterogeneous networks (HetNets) with a topology of mixed macro-cells and low-power
nodes (LPNs) form an important step of capacity enhancement for LTE and LTE-A. In this …

In multi-cell long term evolution (LTE) networks, the load levels that represent the cells'
resource consumption are coupled due to mutual interference. The coupling relation forms a …

In heterogeneous LTE networks, an incoming user can either join the femto or the macro
base station at the random access stage. We consider a system that has a single macro …

In this letter, a game-theoretic framework is proposed for coordinating resource partitioning
and data offloading in LTE-based heterogeneous networks (HetNets). The goal of this …

In the LTE networks, the multicast services can be transmitted by single frequency network
(SFN) mode and point-to-multipoint (PTM) mode, and the unicast services are delivered with …

The performance of load balancing algorithms in HetNets is investigated in this paper. We
performed a comparative analysis of three load balancing algorithms, including our …
