Q-learning has become a prominent tool for resource allocation and management in
femtocell networks, as it can decrease the time the network takes to determine an allocation …

In this work, a downlink power control scheme based on channel quality indicator (CQI) is
proposed for LTE femtocells. Unlike the conventional methods, this scheme takes the …

Expanding network capacity and guaranteeing the Quality of Service (QoS) are significant
goals in fifth-Generation (5G) for high densities of mobile terminals. Femtocell-based 5G is …

In this paper, we address the problem of joint Resource Block (RB) allocation and
Modulation-and-Coding Scheme (MCS) selection for LTE femtocell DownLink (DL). We first …

Next-generation wireless networks will generate a heterogeneous network with micro base
station (MBS) and femtocells where cell selection becomes crucial for balancing the …

The fast emerging technology of femtocells, through the utilization of existing IP
infrastructures, promises to improve critical performance indicators in cellular networks, such …

While femtocells provide various advantages for associated users, the occurred interference
on the macrocell layer remains a severe problem. To resolve such problems, various …

Femtocells have been deployed to enhance indoor coverage, improve the system capacity
of cellular networks, and increase the spectrum efficiency by means of full subcarrier reuse …

Provisioning the capacity of wireless networks is difficult when peak load is significantly
higher than average load, for example, in public spaces like airports or train stations. Service …

Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks comprising conventional cellular macrocells plus user-
installed femtocells offer an economically viable solution to achieving high user capacity and …
