Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of expanding, by a small cell BS, a transmission range in a heterogeneous network. The method includes estimating a number of success devices which successfully access a small cell BS through a contention based on an idle Random Access Opportunity (RAO) and comparing the estimated number of expected access device with an actual number of measured success devices and determining a transmission range expansion distance.
