The paper studies the suppression of cross-tier inter-cell interference (ICI) generated by a macro base station (MBS) to pico user equipments (PUEs) in heterogeneous networks (HetNets). Different from existing ICI avoidance schemes such as…

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…

Caching the popular multimedia content is a promising way to unleash the ultimate potential of wireless networks. In this paper, we contribute to proposing and analyzing the cache-based content delivery in a three-tier heterogeneous network…
