“…In time of revising related work, there have been a few papers discussing load balancing with handovers in IEEE 802.16e based systems such as algorithms in [16]and [31], up to now. As far as the authors are aware, the load balancing issue was only investigated from the viewpoint of the Mobile WiMAX system, its architecture and functions [4], [17].…”

Mobile Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (Mobile WiMAX) is a wireless access technology based on IEEE 802.16e standard. Mobile WiMAX supports mobility, high utilization of radio resources, beneficial Quality of Service (QoS) framework, and flexible centralized scheduling, which are offered by connection oriented MAC layer. Due to the architecture of MAC layer in mobile WiMAX, admission control, packet scheduling, handover, and load balancing mechanisms can be implemented in the MAC layer by vendors. In this paper, we explain two main features in MAC layer of Mobile WiMAX networks; handover and load balancing. Additionally, we investigate load balancing algorithms suggested in wireless and WiMAX networks to find out appropriate way of load balancing in mobile WiMAX networks.

“…Concerning the load balancing in wireless networks based on IEEE 802.16 standard, which is also the main focus of this paper, several studies have been conducted so far. In Reference [15], the authors basically extended the idea proposed in Reference [11] to IEEE 802.16e OFDMA standard. In Reference [16], a novel intra frequency assignment HO scheme for the load balancing in IEEE 802.16e system is developed.…”

The load balancing in wireless networks is a very effective way for maximization of a system throughput. The paper proposes a new load balancing scheme in order to avoid a congestion of base stations (BSs) in IEEE 802.16 standards. While in many technical studies the load balancing is achieved by a handover (HO) of mobile stations (MSs), the novelty of our approach lies in the utilization of the HO of relay stations (RSs). Hence, the algorithm enabling load balancing via RSs is developed and optimized. Furthermore, the paper contemplates the implementation of the proposed mechanism to networks based on IEEE 802.16 standards. The performance of the mechanism is evaluated in terms of achieved system throughput and signaling overhead both at the air interface and over the wired backbone. The obtained results indicate that the load balancing mechanism through the HO of RSs outperforms existing load balancing mechanisms exploiting conventional HO of MSs.

“…In [7], a hard-load-balancing algorithm in heterogeneous wireless systems was simulated as a function of the number of users, channel conditions, and the quality of service (QoS). In [10], a network controlled handover based load balancing algorithm was proposed. In [11], BS-initiated load balancing with directed handovers in mobile WiMAX was proposed.…”

“…There are several proposals to resolve load imbalance in mobile communication networks [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. One option is to hand over mobile stations (MSs) at the cell edge to the neighboring base station (BS) with the strongest signal by reducing the pilot power of the BS [1][2][3][4].…”

In this paper, we propose an auto-tuning of mobility algorithm in the mobile communication systems as a load balancing self-optimization use case. This paper presents a distributed approach in which the traffic load can be balanced systematically by utilizing the effective load information of neighboring cells. The proposed load balancing scheme detects a load imbalance in the network and resolves the problem automatically by controlling the handover parameter as a nonlinear function of the load difference. Based on control theory, we analyze the adaptive behavior of the proposed controller and derive condition for system stability. Results from asymptotic analysis and simulation indicate that the proposed local controller of each individual cell effectively achieves the global properties, such that the load difference in the network is stabilized globally within a predetermined threshold. Extensive simulation results also show that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing methods by reducing call blocking rate of the overloaded cells.
