A Novel Algorithm for Radio Access Technology, Selection in Heterogeneous B3G networks

This paper proposes a new radio access technology (RAT) selection algorithm which allows increasing the capacity of heterogeneous CDMA/TDMA systems. This is achieved by controlling the effective cell radius of the CDMA-based system (i.e. a network-controlled cell-breathing), so that the interference level in the CDMA-based RAT is reduced while at the same time the target coverage area is assured by means of the cooperation of the FDMA/TDMA based RATs.
