            Abstract : 
In this paper, we propose a load balancing and a dynamic overlay clustering procedures including the fusion procedure. The proposed load balancing gets some loss for the throughput of the overall system but it improves the throughput of the cell-edge users. Through the simulations, we verify that the load and the number of users of the proposed system are changed uniformly. In addition, we demonstrate that the proposed system can improve the quality of service for cell-edge users while guaranteeing user fairness.
