User scheduling and multiuser multi-antenna (MU-MIMO) transmission are at the core of high rate data-oriented downlink schemes of the next-generation of cellular systems (e.g., LTE-Advanced). Scheduling selects groups of users according to…

Interference among concurrent transmissions in a wireless network is a key factor limiting the system performance. One way to alleviate this problem is to manage the radio resources in order to maximize either the average or the worst-case…

We study the problem of interference management in large-scale small cell networks, where each user equipment (UE) needs to determine in a distributed manner when and at what power level it should transmit to its serving small cell base…
