LTE release 12 proposes the use of dual connectivity in heterogeneous cellular networks, where a user equipment (UE) maintains parallel connections to a macro-cell node (base station) and to a low-tier node (pico base station or relay). In…

-The focus of this paper is targeted towards multi-cell 5G networks which are composed of HPNs (High Power Node) such as evolved NodeBs (HPNs) that control signaling and system broadcasting information and of simplified LPNs (Low Power…

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,…
