This paper studies physical-layer security for a cache-enabled heterogeneous cellular network comprised of a macro base station and multiple small base stations (SBSs). We investigate a joint design on caching placement and file delivery…

We consider a heterogeneous network (HetNet) of base stations (BSs) connected via a backhaul network of routers and wired/wireless links with limited capacity. The optimal provision of such networks requires proper resource allocation…

With the increasing network densification, it has become exceedingly difficult to provide traditional fiber backhaul access to each cell site, which is especially true for small cell base stations (SBSs). The increasing maturity of…

Base station switching (BSS) can results in significant reduction in energy consumption of cellular networks during low traffic conditions. We show that the coverage loss due to BSS can be compensated via coordinated multi-point (CoMP)…

To reach a cost-efficient 5G architecture, the use of remote radio heads connected through a fronthaul to baseband controllers is a promising solution. However, the fronthaul links must support high bit rates as 5G networks are projected to…
