Particle Swarm Optimization for Mobility Load Balancing SON in LTE Networks

This paper presents a self-optimizing solution for Mobility Load Balancing (MLB). The MLB-SON is performed in two phases. In the first, a MLB controller is designed using Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MO-PSO) which incorporates a priori expert knowledge to considerably reduce the search space and optimization time. The dynamicity of the optimization phase is addressed. In the second phase, the controller is pushed into the base stations to implement the MLB SON. The method is applied to dynamically adapt Handover Margin parameters of a large scale LTE network in order to balance traffic of the network eNodeBs. Numerical results illustrate the benefits of the proposed solution.

Handover adaptation for dynamic load balancing in 3gpp long term evolution systems

The long-Term Evolution (LTE) of the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) radio access network is in early stage of specification. Self-tuning and self-optimisation algorithms are currently studied with the aim of enriching the LTE standard. This paper investigates auto-tuning of LTE mobility algorithm. The auto-tuning is carried out by adapting handover parameters of each base station according to its radio load and the load of its adjacent cells. The auto-tuning alleviates cell congestion and balances the traffic and the load between cells by handing off mobiles close to the cell border from the congested cell to its neighbouring cells. Simulation results show that the auto-tuning process brings an important gain in both call admission rate and user throughput.
