A quantitative study on resource allocation schemes by jointly considering Interference Coordination (IC) and Load Balancing (LB) in MCNs improves throughput and large coverage. But still it suffers from load unbalance and Inter-Cell Interference (ICI) problems. In this paper, these problems are tackled by jointly considering a novel Mobility Load Balancing (MLB) and Inter-cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) algorithm in MCNs. This algorithm is simulated under fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR), Soft Frequency Reuse (SFR), Reuse-1 and Reuse-3 frequency planning schemes. The simulation is performed with Round-robin, Proportional fair and Best-channel quality indicator (CQI) schedulers. This shows that the proposed algorithm provides significant improvements in the Quality of Service (QoS) provision, cell-edge spectral efficiency and the number of unsatisfied users. The main objective of this paper is to provide higher data rates, improvement in cell-edge spectral efficiency, and reduce the unsatisfied users' in the future wireless cellular networks.
