In this paper, a Device-to-Device communication on unlicensed bands (D2D-U) enabled network is studied. To improve the spectrum efficiency (SE) on the unlicensed bands and fit its distributed structure while ensuring the fairness among…
A great increase in wireless access rates might be attainable by using the large amount of spectrum available in the millimeter wave (mmWave, 30 - 300 GHz) band. However, due to higher propagation losses inherent in these frequencies, to…
Inter-operator spectrum sharing in millimeter-wave bands has the potential of substantially increasing the spectrum utilization and providing a larger bandwidth to individual user equipment at the expense of increasing inter-operator…
Digital equity in Internet access is often measured along three axes: availability, affordability, and adoption. Most prior work focuses on availability; the other two aspects have received little attention. In this paper, we study…
Disagreements over peering fees have risen to the level of potential government regulation. ISPs assert that content providers should pay them based on the volume of downstream traffic. Transit providers and content providers assert that…
