Research on Load Balancing in C-RAN with Femtocells
Abstract: The traditional load
balancing optimization scheme cannot guarantee the user’s QoS in the C-RAN
wireless communication networks when all the neighboring macrocells are under
the situation of overload. In order to resolve this problem, we implement the
femtocell to the macrocell network, which considers the advantages of
femtocell, i.e., small coverage, low cost and better signal quality. Therefore,
in this paper, the joint load balancing mechanism is proposed to achieve the
joint optimization of femtocell and macrocell network by allowing the users of
overloaded macrocell to handover to the femtocell. Finally, the simulation
results show that the proposed mechanism greatly improves the user satisfaction
as well as the resource utilization rate of the femtocell network while
decreases the blocking rate and dropping rate.
