Ultra-dense small cell networks have been proposed as a way of addressing the explosive growth of data traffic. However, this approach often results in empty cells which only end up causing interference instead of serving UEs because they do not have any associated UEs. In this paper, we investigate the empty cell problem using system-level simulation and propose a dual layer on/off strategy for solving the empty cell problem. Systemlevel simulation results verify that the proposed scheme achieves performance enhancement in terms of capacity compared with conventional ultra- dense small cell networks.
