Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In LTE-Advanced, a heterogeneous network where femtocells and picocells overlaid onto macrocells is extensively discussed in addition to traditional well-planned macrocell deployment. In heterogeneous network deployment, cell selection as well as inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) is very important to improve the system and cell-edge throughput. Therefore, this paper investigates three cell selection methods, i.e., the signal-to-interference plus noise power ratio (SINR)-based cell selection, the reference signal received power (RSRP)-based cell selection, and the reference signal received quality (RSRQ)-based cell selection associated with ICIC in heterogeneous networks in the LTE-Advanced downlink. Simulation results (four pico eNodeBs and 25 user equipments are uniformly located within one macro eNodeB) show that the cell and cell-edge user throughput of RSRP-based cell selection is degraded approximately 3% and 10%, compared to that of SINR-based cell selection due to the impairment of interference level. Furthermore, it is also shown that the cell throughput of RSRQ-based cell selection is improved approximately 5%, although the cell-edge user throughput is degraded approximately 10%, compared to that of SINR-based cell selection.
