One of the main aims of indoor visible light communication (VLC) systems is to deliver a high data rate service in single user and in multiuser scenarios. A key obstacle is the ability of the indoor VLC channel to support high data rates in…
In this paper, the problem of content-aware user clustering and content caching in wireless small cell networks is studied. In particular, a service delay minimization problem is formulated, aiming at optimally caching contents at the small…
Marketing literature states that it is more costly to engage a new customer than to retain an existing loyal customer. Churn prediction models are developed by academics and practitioners to effectively manage and control customer churn in…
Data heterogeneity across participating devices poses one of the main challenges in federated learning as it has been shown to greatly hamper its convergence time and generalization capabilities. In this work, we address this limitation by…
There have been a bulk of analytic results about the performance of cellular networks where base stations are regularly located on a hexagonal or square lattice. This regular model cannot reflect the reality, and tends to overestimate the…
LTE and LTE-Advanced have been optimized to deliver high bandwidth pipes to wireless users. The transport mechanisms have been tailored to maximize single cell performance by enforcing strict synchronism and orthogonality within a single…
Personalized recommender systems have been widely studied and deployed to reduce information overload and satisfy users' diverse needs. However, conventional recommendation models solely conduct a one-time training-test fashion and can…
Mobile edge caching enables content delivery directly within the radio access network, which effectively alleviates the backhaul burden and reduces round-trip latency. To fully exploit the edge resources, the most popular contents should be…
