In this paper, we investigate user equipment (UE)-radio access technology (RAT) association and bandwidth assignment to maximize sum-rates in a multi-RAT network. To this end, we formulate an optimization problem that jointly addresses UE…

This paper considers a downlink cell-free multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) network in which multiple multi-antenna access points (APs) serve multiple users via coherent joint transmission. In order to reduce the energy consumption by…

In this paper, we address two crucial challenges in the design of cell-free (CF) systems: degradation in the performance of CF systems by imperfect channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) and high computational/signaling loads…

To meet the increasing demand for wireless capacity, future networks are likely to consist of dense layouts of small cells. The number of users in each cell is thus reduced which results in diminished gains from opportunistic scheduling,…

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…

Contrary to conventional massive MIMO cellular configurations plagued by inter-cell interference, cell-free massive MIMO systems distribute network resources across the coverage area, enabling users to connect with multiple access points…

Caching at the base stations (BSs) has been widely adopted to reduce the delivery delay and alleviate the backhaul traffic between BSs and the core network. In this paper, we consider a collaborative content caching scheme among BSs in…

We study distributed optimization in a cooperative multi-agent setting, where agents have to agree on the usage of shared resources and can communicate via a time-varying network to this purpose. Each agent has its own decision variables…

In cellular wireless networks, user association refers to the problem of assigning mobile users to base station cells -- a critical, but challenging, problem in many emerging small cell and heterogeneous networks. This paper considers a…

We focus on a dense cellular network, in which a limited-size cache is available at every Base Station (BS). In order to optimize the overall performance of the system in such scenario, where a significant fraction of the users is covered…
