Abstract

An analytical framework is developed showing the maximum possible capacity gain through load balancing in cellular radio networks. Performance of the best-known scheme, namely, load balancing with selective borrowing (LBSB), is also analyzed for comparison purpose. Through an example of 3-tier cellular architecture it is demonstrated that the maximum achievable capacity gain of an ideal load balancing scheme could be as much as 70%. In an identical scenario, the LBSB scheme achieves a gain only up to 30%.
