A Novel Approach for Load Balancing In Heterogeneous Cellular Network

Bittu Ann Mathew, Sumy Joseph

Heterogeneous network is an important component of cellular networks to meet the increasing mobile data demands. Due to uneven traffic distribution, some nodes suffer from heavy load, and their adjacent nodes may carry only light load. This load imbalance among nodes restricts the network from fully utilizing its capacity and providing better services to users. So there is a need of load balancing mechanism to be present in the network. In this paper a load balancing scheme is proposed that moves the load of heavy nodes to lightly loaded or idle nodes by finding next shortest path. This may lead to efficient utilization of nodes and nodes can allocate resource efficiently.
