Maximizing throughput using 2D-Markov models for LTE and WiFi heterogeneous network

Validated by Mote Carlo simulations, a 2D-Markov chain model is proposed for analyzing the throughput of a simplified LTE system. User scheduling strategy for maximizing the sum throughput in a heterogeneous network consisting of LTE and WiFi systems is obtained using the proposed LTE's 2D-Markov chain model and a previously developed WiFi's 2D-Markov chain model.
