Abstract

This work analyzes the optimal pico base station (BS) deployment in heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNet) with hotspots. Most of conventional works for HetNet focused on interference coordination and effective cell association methods, however, the problem of pico BS deployment (cell planning) for HetNet with hotspots has not been analyzed so much. In this paper, we extend the previously proposed optimization problem in terms of network parameters (spectrum splitting ratio and SINR bias value) to the optimal pico BS locations to maximize the system rate. Furthermore, the average user and outage user rates are evaluated numerically to show the effectiveness of the proposed optimization method. Numerical results show that the optimized pico BS locations can improve both the average and outage user rates in HetNet with hotspots.
