Data applications may typically tolerate a moderate delay before packet transmission between user equipment (UE) and cell begins. This delay can be taken advantage to reduce the communication distance, improve coverage probability, and…

The demand for communication services in the era of intelligent terminals is unprecedented and huge. To meet such development, modern wireless communications must provide higher quality services with higher energy efficiency in terms of…

To meet the ever-growing demand for a higher communicating rate and better communication quality, more and more small cells are overlaid under the macro base station (MBS) tier, thus forming the heterogeneous networks. Small cells can ease…

Femtocells have been considered by the wireless industry as a cost-effective solution not only to improve indoor service providing, but also to unload traffic from already overburdened macro networks. Due to spectrum availability and…

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…

Base station (BS) cooperative transmission, also known as coordinated multi-point transmission (CoMP), is an effective way to avoid inter-cell interference in universal frequency reuse cellular systems. To gain the promised benefit,…

We consider a user-centric co-operative cellular network, where base stations (BSs) close to a mobile co-operate to detect its signal using a (joint) linear minimum-mean-square-error receiver. The BSs are at arbitrary positions and mobiles…

Multi-tier cellular networks are considered as an effective solution to enhance the coverage and data rate offered by cellular systems. In a multi-tier network, high power base stations (BSs) such as macro BSs are overlaid by lower power…

Multicell joint processing can mitigate inter-cell interference and thereby increase the spectral efficiency of cellular systems. Most previous work has assumed phase-aligned (coherent) transmissions from different base transceiver stations…

Energy harvesting in cellular networks is an emerging technique to enhance the sustainability of power-constrained wireless devices. This paper considers the co-channel deployment of a macrocell overlaid with small cells. The small cell…
