Abstract

A new approach for mobility load balancing and user association in dense small cell deployments is presented. This Self Organizing Network (SON) technique relies on Knapsack Optimisation to evenly distribute users across participating cells subject to constraints. Example use cases of dense small cells for future 5G networks are investigated. It is shown that the new technique achieves substantial improvements (better than three times reduction) in blocking ratios for the studied use cases.
