Abstract
In very dense environment operators deploy hierarchical cellular networks that combine microcells and macrocells. Macrocells can act as an overflow pool for calls that cannot be served by the microcell layer. In the so-called reversible networks, overflow calls are taken back by the microcell layer as soon as a channel is released in the corresponding microcell. This contribution proposes an analytical model to estimate performance of reversible hierarchical networks. The model is then used to optimize the capacity by adjusting the number of accepted overflows.
