Interference alignment (IA) can remarkably improve the spectral efficiency of dense small
cell networks (SCNs) underlaying a macrocell, but its feasibility condition and …

We consider a femto cellular network consisting of multiple neighboring femtocells, eg, in an
enterprise deployment such as shopping malls, stadiums, or corporate premises. We …

The deployment of small cell base stations (BSs) can efficiently boost the network capacity.
Cross-tier interference management is critical for the performance enhancement in such …

This letter introduces a user-centric small cell clustering mechanism, which: 1) strengthens
the received signal-to-interference-ratio (SIR) by small cell cooperation and 2) enables …

This paper studies the suppression of cross-tier intercell interference (ICI) generated by a
macro base station (MBS) to pico user equipments (PUEs) in heterogeneous networks …

The promise of ubiquitous and super-fast connectivity for the upcoming years will be in large
part fulfilled by the addition of base stations and spectral aggregation. The resulting very …

Dense network deployments comprising small cells pose a series of important challenges
when it comes to achieving an efficient resource use and curbing intercell interference in the …

In this paper, new strategies are devised for joint load balancing and interference
management in the downlink of a heterogeneous network, where small cells are densely …

In this study, a distributed scheme based on the Nash bargaining model is designed to
coordinate co‐channel interference for small‐cell networks. The authors consider a scenario …

To accommodate the ever-increasing demand for mobile data, the wireless industry is facing
with the urgent requirement of growing the capacity of mobile access networks by 1; 000 …
