Assessment of Downlink Signaling Performance for Intra-LTE intra-frequency Mobility Load Balancing

A simulation study on the downlink signaling performance of intra-LTE intra-frequency mobility load balancing in the macro-cellular context will be presented in this paper. The results identify the HO command message as the most critical signaling message. In addition the range of the cell individual offset for different UE speeds and signaling error thresholds will be identified.
