Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In Long-Term Evolution (LTE)-Advanced, heterogeneous networks where femtocells and picocells are overlaid onto macrocells are extensively discussed in addition to traditional well-planned macrocell deployments to improve further the system throughput. In heterogeneous networks, cell range expansion (CRE), which is a technique for expanding the cell radius of picocells by biasing the handover criteria, is applied so that the UEs will more frequently select the picocells. This paper investigates the transmission power control (TPC) method in the uplink heterogeneous networks that employ CRE and evaluates the cell-edge user throughput and cell throughput performance. Simulation results (4 picocells and 25 UEs are located within 1 macrocell and the difference in transmission power between the macrocell and picocells is 16 dB) show that almost the same cell-edge user throughput is obtained by setting the appropriate target received signal power for the macrocell and picocells according to the CRE offset value, which is mainly decided based on the offload effect and the downlink throughput performance.
