摘要：We propose in this paper a simulation implementation of Self-Organizing Networks (SON) optimizationrelated to mobility load balancing (MLB) for LTE systems using ns-3 [1]. The implementation is achievedtoward two MLB algorithms dynamically adjusting handover (HO) parameters based on the ReferenceSignal Received Power (RSRP) measurements. Such adjustments are done with respect to loads of both anoverloaded cell and its cells’ neighbours having enough available resources enabling to achieve loadbalancing. Numerical investigations through selected key performance indicators (KPIs) of the proposedMLB algorithms when compared with another HO algorithm (already implemented in ns-3) based on A3event [2] highlight the significant MLB gains provided in terms global network throughput, packet loss rateand the number of successful HO without incurring significant overhead.
