Abstract
Recently, heterogeneous mobile communication network is attracting plenty of interest to serve explosively increasing mobile data traffic. Although the heterogeneous mobile communication network can enhance spatial reuse ratio by using both conventional macro cells and small cells simultaneously, it causes the unbalance in performance of downlink and uplink. In this paper, we propose a new cell selection scheme for heterogeneous mobile communication network. In the proposed cell selection scheme, mobiles select their home cells by considering both uplink and downlink performance, contrary to conventional schemes. We analyze the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of average cell transmission rate through system level simulations and compare it with those of conventional schemes.
