Geometric mean throughput distributions in the scenario with 96 UEs and 32 BSs. The figures on the left represent OSG network and the figures on the right represent 2 CSGs network. This system-wide performance metric shows that there is an overall gain of 10% in DL and 30% in the UL when employing IA scheduler in the open subscriber group case. PF scheduler shows large amount of zero geometric mean throughputs in the CSG case due to the fact that zero geometric mean occurs if any of the 96 users is in outage. The superiority of shared-band operation with IA scheduler over orthogonal bands PF scheduler is evident in the case of 2 CSGs.OSG2 CSGs
