A measurement‐based study of handover improvement through range expansion and interference coordination

Although the range expansion and inter‐cell interference coordination (ICIC) have been shown to successfully enhance the capacity and load balancing in the Heterogeneous Network, their impacts on the handover (HO) performance are not fully understood in existing studies. In this paper, a novel measurement‐based approach is adopted to investigate these issues, where the real measured data of the reference signal received power in a macro–pico...
