摘要

新一代移动通信网络不断演进为高密集、无定型的异构网络，业务需求与资源供给的匹配问题，即负载均衡问题是异构网络（heterogeneous network

HetNet）资源管理的挑战问题之一。阐述了负载均衡的一般性问题，根据负载均衡算法的主要特征给出了综合分类，按照分类对近年来提出的主要负载均衡策略进行了细致和深入的对比分析；同时也对比分析了几种减少负载均衡过程中信令开销的方案。在总结现有研究成果的基础上，进一步分析负载均衡技术的最新发展趋势，为下一步的研究提出了新的问题和思路。

Abstract

With next-generation mobile communication networks evolving to high dense

amorphous and heterogeneous network

matching the demand for business with the supply of resources has been one of the challenging problems of resource management in heterogeneous network（HetNet）

namely load balancing problem. The general load balancing problems are formulated. Following that

a comprehensive taxonomic approach to classifying algorithms of load balancing was proposed

based on which detailed analyses and thorough comparisons for the main strategies in recent years were made; and several schemes to reduce signaling overhead were compared and analyzed in the load balancing process. Finally

research results were summarized

and some new issues in load balancing strategies conforming to the trends to be further studied were pointed out.
