Cell Selection For Load Balancing And Interference Mitigation In LTE-A Hetnets

Heterogeneous cellular networks have emerged as part of Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, where radio resource management (RRM) is the key challenge. However, recent RRM advances have mainly focused on interference mitigation while load balancing, cell association, complexity, quality of service (Q...
