In cellular heterogeneous networks (HetNets), a number of distributed base stations cooperatively provide services to multiple mobile users. This paper addresses joint base-station activation and coordinated beamforming design for downlink…

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the base station (BS) is a critical sensor node whose failure causes severe data losses. Deploying multiple fixed BSs improves the robustness, yet requires all BSs to be installed with large batteries and…

This paper investigates the joint power allocation and user association problem in multi-cell Massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) downlink (DL) systems. The target is to minimize the total transmit power consumption when each user…

Previous works on cache-enabled small-cell networks (SCNs) with probabilistic caching often assume that each user is connected to the nearest small base station (SBS) among all that have cached its desired content. The user may, however,…

We investigate the spectral efficiency of full-duplex small cell wireless systems, in which a full-duplex capable base station (BS) is designed to send/receive data to/from multiple halfduplex users on the same system resources. The major…

Social network alignment has been an important research problem for social network analysis in recent years. With the identified shared users across networks, it will provide researchers with the opportunity to achieve a more comprehensive…

High altitude platform stations (HAPS) offer a promising solution for achieving ubiquitous connectivity in next-generation wireless networks (xG). Integrating HAPS with terrestrial networks, creating HAPS-empowered vertical heterogeneous…

The joint base station (BS) association and beamforming problem has been studied extensively in recent years, yet the computational complexity for even the simplest SISO case has not been fully characterized. In this paper, we consider the…

User association is necessary in dense millimeter wave (mmWave) networks to determine which base station a user connects to in order to balance base station loads and maximize throughput. Given that mmWave connections are highly directional…

Balancing throughput and fairness promises to be a key enabler for achieving large-scale digital inclusion in future vertical heterogeneous networks (VHetNets). In an attempt to address the global digital divide problem, this paper explores…

A heterogenous network with base stations (BSs), small base stations (SBSs) and users distributed according to independent Poisson point processes is considered. SBS nodes are assumed to possess high storage capacity and to form a…

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…

This study introduces and addresses the critical challenge of traffic load estimation in cell switching within vertical heterogeneous networks. The effectiveness of cell switching is significantly limited by the lack of accurate traffic…

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…
