homogeneously.
Furthermore, the presented algorithm does not
consider the demanded QCIs and throughputs of dif-
ferent users. Real user data is needed to verify
whether there are clusters of users who need a high
throughput (e.g. privileged users) and clusters of users
who do not need a high throughput. In combination
with handover parameters, the scheduling algorithm,
MIMO transmission techniques and other parameters,
the optimisation might be even more successful.
