During the past few decades wireless technology has seen a tremendous growth. The
recent introduction of high-end mobile devices has further increased subscriber's demand …

Small cells were introduced to support high data-rate services and for dense deployment.
Owing to user equipment (UE) mobility and small-cell coverage, the load across a small-cell …

In this paper we present system level simulation results of a self-optimizing load balancing
algorithm in a long-term-evolution (LTE) mobile communication system. Based on previous …

Cellular radio networks are seldom uniformly loaded. This motivates the need for Load
Balancing (LB), as has been defined in the LTE Self-Organization standard. It is expected …

The need for load balancing will be more significant in fifth generation mobile network and
beyond due to the massive upsurge in the quantity of users and rising use of small cell sizes …

Mobility load balancing (MLB) is widely used to address the uneven load distribution
problem. The basic idea is that a hot-spot cell selects less-loaded neighbouring cells as …

While many interesting dynamic load balancing schemes have been proposed for efficient
use of limited bandwidth and to increase the capacity of congested or hot spots (or cells) in …

Load imbalance that deteriorates the system performance is a severe problem existing in
3GPP LTE networks. To deal with this problem, we propose in this paper a load balancing …

With the growing deployment of cellular networks, operators have to devote significant
manual effort to network management. As a result, Self-Organizing Networks (SONs) have …

System-centric modeling and analysis are of key significance in planning and optimizing
cellular networks. In this paper, we provide a mathematical analysis of performance …
