We consider the system-wide utility maximization problem in the downlink of a cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system whereby a very large number of access points (APs) simultaneously serve a group of users.…

The performance of different combinations of user association (UA) and resource allocation (RA) in heterogeneous cellular networks has been extensively studied using a classic modeling approach based on system snapshots. There have been…

We consider a joint scheduling-and-power-allocation problem of a downlink cellular system. The system consists of two groups of users: real-time (RT) and non-real-time (NRT) users. Given an average power constraint on the base station, the…

The problem of cell association is considered for cellular users present in the field. This has become a challenging problem with the deployment of 5G networks which will share the sub-6 GHz bands with the legacy 4G networks. Instead of…

A scalable framework is developed to allocate radio resources across a large number of densely deployed small cells with given traffic statistics on a slow timescale. Joint user association and spectrum allocation is first formulated as a…
