Cache-enabled Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is widely recognized as one of the key components of the emerging fifth generation (5G) cellular network architecture. However, conventional half-duplex (HD) transmission may not be…

Our traditional notion of a cell is changing dramatically given the increasing degree of heterogeneity in 4G and emerging 5G systems. Rather than belonging to a specific cell, a device would choose the most suitable connection from the…

Full duplex (FD) communications has the potential to double the capacity of a half duplex (HD) system at the link level. However, in a cellular network, FD operation is not a straightforward extension of half duplex operations. The…

One of the most significant 5G technology enablers will be Device-to-Device (D2D) communications. D2D communications constitute a promising way to improve spectral, energy and latency performance, exploiting the physical proximity of…

Two-way is a dominant mode of communication in wireless systems. Departing from the tradition to optimize each transmission direction separately, recent work has demonstrated that, for time-division duplex (TDD) systems, optimizing the…

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) have emerged as transformative technologies, enhancing spectral efficiency and improving interference management in multi-user cooperative communications. This paper investigates the integration of…

Load balancing is an effective approach to address the spatial-temporal fluctuation problem of mobile data traffic for cellular networks. The existing schemes that focus on channel borrowing from neighboring cells cannot be directly applied…

We study, in this paper, the impact of imperfect small cell positioning with respect to traffic hotspots in cellular networks. In order to derive the throughput distribution in macro and small cells, we firstly perform static level analysis…

The feasibility conditions of interference alignment (IA) are analyzed for reverse TDD systems, i.e., one cell operates as downlink (DL) but the other cell operates as uplink (UL). Under general multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO)…

Two-tier femtocell networks-- comprising a conventional macrocellular network plus embedded femtocell hotspots-- offer an economically viable solution to achieving high cellular user capacity and improved coverage. With universal frequency…

In this paper, the problem of uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) resource optimization, mode selection and power allocation is studied for wireless cellular networks under the assumption of in-band full duplex (IBFD) base stations,…

We consider a wireless system with a full-duplex (FD) access point (AP) that transmits to a scheduled user in the downlink (DL) channel, while receiving data from an user in the uplink (UL) channel at the same time on the same frequency. In…

Full duplex (FD) communications, which increases spectral efficiency through simultaneous transmission and reception on the same frequency band, is a promising technology to meet the demand of next generation wireless networks. In this…

We investigate the joint uplink-downlink configuration of an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) for multi-user frequency-division-duplexing (FDD) and time-division-duplexing (TDD) systems. This is motivated in FDD since uplink and…

Cellular network performance can significantly benefit from direct device-to-device (D2D) communication, but interference from cochannel D2D communication limits the performance gain. In hybrid networks consisting of D2D and cellular links,…

Interference shapes the interplay between capacity and coverage in cellular networks. However, interference is non-deterministic and depends on various system and channel parameters including user scheduling, frequency reuse, and fading…

Given the proven benefits cell densification brings in terms of capacity and coverage, it is certain that 5G networks will be even more heterogeneous and dense. However, as smaller cells are introduced in the network, interference will…

In this paper, we analytically derive an upper bound on the error in approximating the uplink (UL) single-cell interference by a lognormal distribution in frequency division multiple access (FDMA) small cell networks (SCNs). Such an upper…

The integration of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) and terrestrial networks (TNs) is fundamental for extending connectivity to rural and underserved areas that lack coverage from traditional cellular infrastructure. However, this…

Heterogeneous networks (HetNets) as a combination of macro cells and small cells are used to increase the cellular network's capacity, and present a perfect solution for high-speed communications. Increasing area spectrum efficiency and…
