ABSTRACT
The increasing demand for cellular communicates access require a substantial increase in traffic capacity and full coverage of service area. In urban areas, the ratio of traffic demand in the busiest hour to the quietest hour can be very substantial. To accommodate for the increase in traffic during peak hours, a variety of options are possible - more carriers may be added to existing cell sites, the cell may by be split into several smaller cells or alternatively, additional base stations may be built. However, these methods require the operator to drive a new frequency plan and as for the case of cell splitting, and additional base station construction, a new coverage plan will be required. The cost of installing new hardware and devising new frequency and coverage plans is considerable. It is therefore vital for an operator to ensure that their resources are utilized to their full potential. In light of the above, a more flexible network is required. In this paper, the potential benefits of dynamically controlling the size of any given cell within a layer of hierarchical cells are investigated. Its weaknesses are also studied and possible solutions are suggested to overcome the existing flaws.
