Firas Ali Al-juboori, Namariq Sami Al-dahwi . Load Balancing Algorithm based Adaptive Handovers and Target Cell Load Estimation. International Journal of Computer Applications. 84, 17 ( December 2013), 22-25. DOI=10.5120/14679-2053
The purpose of load balancing in cellular network is to deal with unequal distribution of traffic load over multiple cells. Load balancing is a major issue in LTE (long term evolution) system. A load balancing problem occurs when available wireless resources are not enough to support the requirements of users. Such a problem may lead to blocked or dropped calls and degrade the quality of service. In this paper, we propose a general load –balancing algorithm to help congested cells handle traffic dynamically.
