Abstract

Existing cell association do not jointly consider load balancing and throughput maximization for efficient resource allocation in Long Term Evolution-Advanced heterogeneous networks. In this paper, a hybrid cell range extension-almost blank subframe (CRE-ABS) scheme is proposed, which exploits the information of distance and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) to perform cell association and executes partial muting. Results show that the proposed scheme achieves better performance compared to the baseline scheme in terms of throughput and network load balancing.
