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,…

Design of distributed caching mechanisms is considered as an active area of research due to its promising solution in reducing data load in the backhaul link of a cellular network. In this paper, the problem of distributed content caching…

Use of aerial base stations (ABSs) is a promising approach to enhance the agility and flexibility of future wireless networks. ABSs can improve the coverage and/or capacity of a network by moving supply towards demand. Deploying ABSs in a…

In this paper we demonstrate the rate gains achieved by two-tier heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNets) with varying degrees of coordination between macrocell and microcell base stations (BSs). We show that without the presence of…

This work analyzes a heterogeneous network (HetNet), which comprises a macro base station (BS) equipped with a large number of antennas and an overlaid dense tier of small cell access points (SCAs) using a wireless backhaul for data…

Small-cell densification is a strategy enabling the offloading of users from macro base stations (MBSs), in order to alleviate their load and increase the coverage, especially, for cell-edge users. In parallel, as the network increases in…

The strong interference suffered by users can be a severe problem in cache-enabled networks (CENs) due to the content-centric user association mechanism. To tackle this issue, multi-antenna technology may be employed for interference…

We study the problem of caching optimization in heterogeneous networks with mutual interference and per-file rate constraints from an energy efficiency perspective. A setup is considered in which two cache-enabled transmitter nodes and a…

We study the problem of cache-aided communication for cellular networks with multi-user and multiple antennas at finite signal-to-noise ratio. Users are assumed to have non-symmetric links, modeled by wideband fading channels. We show that…

Caching popular contents at the edge of cellular networks has been proposed to reduce the load, and hence the cost of backhaul links. It is significant to decide which files should be cached and where to cache them. In this paper, we…

In this paper we investigate the problem of optimal MDS-encoded cache placement at the wireless edge to minimize the backhaul rate in heterogeneous networks. We derive the backhaul rate performance of any caching scheme based on file…

To address the massive growth of data traffic over cellular networks, increasing spatial reuse of the frequency spectrum by the deployment of small base stations (SBSs) has been considered. For rapid deployment of SBSs in the networks,…

The rapid increase in data traffic demand has overloaded existing cellular networks. Planned upgrades in the communication architecture (e.g. LTE), while helpful, are not expected to suffice to keep up with demand. As a result, extensive…

Cellular networks are in a major transition from a carefully planned set of large tower-mounted base-stations (BSs) to an irregular deployment of heterogeneous infrastructure elements that often additionally includes micro, pico, and…

It is starting to become a big trend in the era of social networking that people produce and upload user-generated contents to Internet via wireless networks, bringing a significant burden on wireless uplink networks. In this paper, we…

In a heterogeneous cellular network (HetNet) consisting of $M$ tiers of densely-deployed base stations (BSs), consider that each of the BSs in the HetNet that are associated with multiple users is able to simultaneously schedule and serve…

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…

Network densification with small cell base stations is a promising solution to satisfy future data traffic demands. However, increasing small cell base station density alone does not ensure better users quality-of-experience and incurs high…

In this paper, we study the coexistence and synergy between edge and central cloud computing in a heterogeneous cellular network (HetNet), which contains a multi-antenna macro base station (MBS), multiple multi-antenna small base stations…

The performance of a cellular network can be significantly improved by employing many base stations (BSs), which shortens transmission distances. However, there exist no known results on quantifying the performance gains from deploying many…
