Offloading With Hybrid Cell Association in Non-Uniform Heterogeneous Cellular Networks: Modeling and Performance Analysis

Flexible/biased cell association in uniform Heterogeneous Cellular Network (HCN) can lead to poor offloading, particularly near to the Macrocell Base Station (MBS). Additionally, in the cell-edge region, a user might offload to an SBS even if unbiased cell association is employed. In this paper, fir...
