I. Introduction
Different base stations (BS) infrastructures are making Cellular network
systems diverse tremendously. Consequently, a significant increase in
mobile data traffic and high-quality service (QoS) demand are the results.
Thus, brings out the need to increase the capacity of wireless network.
Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) forecast that, global mobile data
traffic will growth seven fold from 2017 to 2022, mentioned from [1].
Therefore, Heterogeneous networks (HetNets) with small cell and
multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems are now considered to be Figure 1:

mobile base station is limited because the SE of the MU must be
