A novel cell selection method in heterogeneous LTE-advanced systems

Abstract

Cell selection which plays a crucial role in improving cell spectrum efficiency especially in heterogeneous systems is the process that allows the user equipments(UEs) to select a suitable cell where to camp on in order to access available services. This paper analysis the new interference environment and the limitations of traditional cell selection scheme which caused by low power nodes, and propose a new cell selection strategy to resolve these problems in order to improve efficiency in LTE-A heterogeneous systems.
