The handover process is one of the most critical functions in a cellular network, and is in charge of maintaining seamless connectivity of user equipments (UEs) across multiple cells. It is usually based on signal measurements from the…

In this paper, a comprehensive study of the the downlink performance in a heterogeneous cellular network (or hetnet) is conducted. A general hetnet model is considered consisting of an arbitrary number of open-access and closed-access tier…

Small cells deployment is one of the most significant long-term strategic policies of the mobile network operators. In heterogeneous networks (HetNets), small cells serve as offloading spots in the radio access network to offload macro…

We model and analyze heterogeneous cellular networks with multiple antenna BSs (multi-antenna HetNets) with K classes or tiers of base stations (BSs), which may differ in terms of transmit power, deployment density, number of transmit…

In this paper, we introduce an analytical framework to compute the average rate of downlink heterogeneous cellular networks. The framework leverages recent application of stochastic geometry to other-cell interference modeling and analysis.…

In this paper we provide an analytic framework for computing the expected downlink coverage probability, and the associated data rate of cellular networks, where base stations are distributed in a random manner. The provided expressions are…

In this paper, we study the downlink performance of a heterogeneous cellular network (HetNet) where both macro and small cells share the same spectrum and hence interfere with each other. We assume that the users are concentrated at certain…

In this paper, we propose a methodology for estimating the statistics of the intercell interference power in the downlink of a multicellular network. We first establish an analytical expression for the probability law of the interference…

Heterogeneous cellular networks provide significant improvements in terms of increased data rates and cell coverage, and offer reduced user rate starvation. However, there are important problems to be solved. In this paper, we identify that…

Interference shapes the interplay between capacity and coverage in cellular networks. However, interference is non-deterministic and depends on various system and channel parameters including user scheduling, frequency reuse, and fading…

This paper derives tight performance upper and lower bounds on the downlink outage efficiency of K-tier heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs) for general signal propagation models with Poisson distributed base stations in each tier. In…

Carrier aggregation (CA) and small cells are two distinct features of next-generation cellular networks. Cellular networks with small cells take on a very heterogeneous characteristic, and are often referred to as HetNets. In this paper, we…

We develop a general downlink model for multi-antenna heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNets), where base stations (BSs) across tiers may differ in terms of transmit power, target signal-to-interference-ratio (SIR), deployment density,…

This paper characterizes the statistics of effective fading gain in multi-tier cellular networks with strongest base station (BS) cell association policy. First, we derive the probability of association with the $n$-th nearest BS in the…

In HetNets, time/frequency resources should be partitioned intelligently in order to minimize the interference among the users. In this paper, the probability distributions of per user downlink Data Rate, Spectral Efficiency (SE) and Energy…

Caching the content closer to the user equipments (UEs) in heterogenous cellular networks (HetNets) improves user-perceived Quality-of-Service (QoS) while lowering the operators backhaul usage/costs. Nevertheless, under the current…

Heterogeneous network (HetNet) is a promising concept for increasing capacity and alleviating spectrum scarcity. In HetNets, however, channel assignment and transmit power control affect the distribution of users among base stations. We…

Cell biasing and downlink transmit power are two controls that may be used to improve the spectral efficiency of cellular networks. With cell biasing, each mobile user associates with the base station offering, say, the highest biased…

This paper studies the proposed green (energy-efficient) coverage probability, link and network energy efficiencies in the downlink of a heterogeneous cellular network (HetNet) consisting of $K$ independent Poisson point processes (PPPs) of…

Analyzing heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs) has become increasingly complex, particularly due to irregular base station locations, massive deployment of small cells, and flexible resource allocation. The latter is usually not captured…
