The use of small cell deployments in heterogeneous network (HetNet) environments is expected to be a key feature of 4G networks and beyond, and essential for providing higher user throughput and cell-edge coverage. However, due to different…

Sharing global channel information at base stations (BSs) is commonly assumed for downlink multi-cell precoding. In the context of massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems where each BS is equipped with a large number of antennas,…

We study, in this paper, the impact of imperfect small cell positioning with respect to traffic hotspots in cellular networks. In order to derive the throughput distribution in macro and small cells, we firstly perform static level analysis…

We study the coexistence problem in a two-tier heterogeneous network (HetNet) with cognitive small cells. In particular, we consider an underlay HetNet, where the cognitive small base station (C-SBS) is allowed to use the frequency bands of…

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…

Heterogeneity in wireless network architectures (i.e., the coexistence of 3G, LTE, 5G, WiFi, etc.) has become a key component of current and future generation cellular networks. Simultaneous aggregation of each client's traffic across…

Heterogeneous base stations (e.g. picocells, microcells, femtocells and distributed antennas) will become increasingly essential for cellular network capacity and coverage. Up until now, little basic research has been done on the…

Traditional macro-cell networks are experiencing an upsurge of data traffic, and small-cells are deployed to help offload the traffic from macro-cells. Given the massive deployment of small-cells in a macro-cell, the aggregate power…

Cell association scheme determines which base station (BS) and mobile user (MU) should be associated with and also plays a significant role in determining the average data rate a MU can achieve in heterogeneous networks. However, the…

We consider the problem of transmission energy op- timization via range assignment for Low Power Nodes (LPNs) in Long Term Evolution (LTE) Heterogenous Networks (HetNets). The optimization is subject to the load coupling model, where the…

Deploying sub-6GHz network together with millimeter wave (mmWave) is a promising solution to simultaneously achieve sufficient coverage and high data rate. In the heterogeneous networks (HetNets), the traditional coupled access, i.e., the…

Recent exponential growth of data over cellular networks has cause the progression from conventional mobile communication networks to heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNets). Quality of experience (QoE)-aware traffic load balancing in…

This paper presents joint power allocation and interference mitigation techniques for the downlink of spread spectrum systems which employ multiple relays and the amplify and forward cooperation strategy. We propose a joint constrained…

To meet the ever-growing demand for a higher communicating rate and better communication quality, more and more small cells are overlaid under the macro base station (MBS) tier, thus forming the heterogeneous networks. Small cells can ease…

Data applications may typically tolerate a moderate delay before packet transmission between user equipment (UE) and cell begins. This delay can be taken advantage to reduce the communication distance, improve coverage probability, and…

Boosting data rates in LTE mobile networks is one of the key features of LTE-Advanced. This improved user experience is achieved by Carrier Aggregation (CA), in which the available spectrum of an operator is bundled out of several frequency…

This study proposes a novel stochastic geometry framework analyzing power control strategies in spatially correlated network topologies. Heterogeneous networks are studied, with users modeled via the superposition of homogeneous and Poisson…

Linear processing in the spatial domain at the base stations (BSs) and at the users of MIMO cellular systems enables the control of both inter-cell and intra-cell interference. A number of iterative algorithms have been proposed that allow…

In this paper, we address the problem of optimal relay placement in a cellular network assuming network densification, with the aim of maximizing cell capacity. In our model, a fraction of radio resources is dedicated to the base-station…

Heterogeneous wireless networks (HetNets) provide a means to increase network capacity by introducing small cells and adopting a layered architecture. HetNets allocate resources flexibly through time sharing and cell range…
