Abstract	Small cells are expected to increase network capacity, extend the macrocell coverage and to add edge-based intelligence. These advantages are achieved by overlaying macrocell networks with the small cells, resulting in a two-tier network. However, the average capacity of the network is reduced due to interference generated by the two-tier configuration. Conventional small cells are configured to have either an open or closed access scheme. Small cells with a hybrid access scheme or partially open access scheme are known for their flexibility and improved performance achieved through their interference-mitigating ability and adaptive resource allocation capabilities. In a hybrid access scheme, resource allocation is a vital issue in the design of small cells networks. In this paper, we propose an uplink resource allocation technique to enhance hybrid small cell capacity in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) two-tier cellular networks. In particular, we investigate a new possibility available for developing an optimal scheme for OFDMA hybrid access small cells. We formalize the problem as an optimization problem for an uplink resource allocation that partitions the bandwidth for both subscribed or unsubscribed users. Moreover, we propose a convex optimization model for the gradient of the capacity difference between closed access and hybrid access capacity. We present two schemes, firstly an optimal scheme and secondly a scheme that is the simple version of the optimal scheme. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed bandwidth resource allocation, where the simple solution shows inferior performance than the optimal solution with a small margin while the optimal solution has a more mathematical complexity disadvantage due to the mathematical functions it employs. Numerical results also show the convergence and effectiveness of the proposed uplink bandwidth resource allocation scheme.
