Abstract

The paper describes a novel method of load balancing in cellular networks based on the management of the reference signal transmit power. The method described is easy in implementation, as it requires only reconfiguration of one of the parameters already defined in the LTE eNodeB in response to the changes in spatial distribution of the clients in the network. The proposed method is evaluated using simulation. The results prove that it allows to significantly decrease the number of unsatisfied clients (by up to 50 % for partially overloaded network), while does not decrease the total efficiency of the network in terms of the summary amount of bits per second transferred by network in time.
