Cooperative Radio Resources Allocation and Congestion Prevention Scheme for LTE-A

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to define new radio resources allocation scheme in heterogeneous environment that includes congestion control in LTE-A cells. The originality of the proposed approach is that it manages both mobile users and physical resources block. In addition, it is based on the deployment of the Media Independent Handover protocol in order to facilitate the communication between different network entities when performing inter cell cooperation as well as when undertaking handover process. The proposed scheme is evaluated with simulation analysis and results show throughput improvement.
