Description
Summary:The heterogeneous network (HetNets) emerge as one ofthe most auspicious improvements toward realizing the objective specificationsof Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) networks. Though, similar all otherwireless networks, HetNet also yield from the interference problems, i.e., theco-tier and cross-tier interferences. Regardingproper functionality and efficiency of the HetNets, the avoidance andmanagement of the said interferences are very crucial. In this study, a powercontrol algorithm is suggested to decrease the interferences disadvantages inthe HetNets. To calculate the signal power,the SINR (Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio) and RSRP (Reference SignalReceived Power) are used for downlink and uplink respectively. The selection decision is taken by signal strengthinformation. The UE (User Equipment) isswitched accordingly. A simulation is used to investigate and find outthe nearest cell to UE in a HetNet.
