LTE Load Balancing with Tx Power Adjustment and the Real Life Mobility Model

The load balancing in the LTE and LTE-A networks allows usage of the radio resources more effectively to improve client satisfaction. The paper provides analysis of the influence of complex user mobility patterns on the load balancing algorithm. The simulation models are used to evaluate the number of unsatisfied clients depending on the mobility model used. Two mobility models are used: RLMM and Random Waypoint. The Tx Power Adjustment method is evaluated, which is based on reconfiguration of a LTE eNodeB TX Power and was proposed by authors in their previous papers. Method proved to be effective and fairly easy in implementation, and the evaluation through series of simulation shown up to 50{%} rise in clients satisfaction with upholding the total network efficiency.
