Load balancing has been proven as a promising technique that enhances the throughput in Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) networks. In this paper, a new relay-assisted scheme is presented which uses relay node power tuning as a tool to address the problem of load balancing. The scheme aims at finding the global relay node power configuration which achieves optimal load balancing with minimal overall...
