Small cells were introduced to support high data-rate services and for dense deployment.
Owing to user equipment (UE) mobility and small-cell coverage, the load across a small-cell …

To improve indoor coverage and network capacity, the use of hierarchical macro/femto cell
networks is regarded as the most promising approach. We present an efficient handoff …

The exponential rise in mobile traffic originating from mobile devices highlights the need for
making mobility management in future networks even more efficient and seamless than ever …

With the rapid growth of data traffic and mobile devices, it is imperative to provide reliable
and stable services during mobility. Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) and dense …

Low-power base stations such as femtocells are one of the candidates for high-data-rate
provisioning in local areas, such as residences, apartment complexes, business offices, and …

Femtocells have become an attractive device for operators to offer extended services on
their licensed UMTS/LTE spectrum. In this article we focus on the access control strategy-a …

The optimization of handover (HO) parameters for in-building systems is investigated in this
paper. We proposed a novel methodology that provides in-building base stations with the …

In this article we first summarize some of the most recent HetNet mobility studies for
LTEAdvanced, and use these to highlight the challenges that should be further addressed in …
