The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A survey on 3GPP heterogeneous networks (2011, background): “This is one of the intercell interference coordination (ICIC) techniques that can be used on the downlink to mitigate data interference [14, 15].”
Cell Association and Interference Coordination in Heterogeneous LTE-A Cellular Networks (2010, background): “Heterogeneous network consisting of a mix of macro, pico, femto, and relay base-stations [1].”
Modeling and Analysis of K-Tier Downlink Heterogeneous Cellular Networks (2011, background): “To make matters worse, cellular networks are becoming increasingly complex due to the deployment of multiple classes of BSs that have distinctly different traits [2], [3].”
Millimeter-Wave Cellular Wireless Networks: Potentials and Challenges (2014, background): “Heterogeneous networks, or HetNets, have been one of the most active research areas in cellular standards bodies in the last five years [45], [48], [67], [68], with the main focus being inter-cell interference coordination and load balancing.”
Analytical Modeling of Uplink Cellular Networks (2012, background): “Perhaps more importantly, the grid model – which was always highly idealized – is particularly out-of-touch with ongoing deployments, which have highly variable cell sizes and opportunistic placement of new towers [10], [11].”
