  • Abstract
    In cellular networks, traffic demand is unevenly distributed both in time and space. This paper investigates the problem of re-distributing traffic demand between LTE femtocells in an enterprise scenario. A performance comparison of several traffic sharing techniques is carried out based on simulations. For this purpose, an efficient dynamic system-level LTE simulator is built. Results show that the combination of directed retry and load sharing by tuning handover margins and transmit power is an effective means to solve localized congestion problems.
