In heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNets), dense small base station deployment (SBS
D) offers a scalable and low-cost mechanism to meet the fifth generation (5G) needs of …

Heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNets) are one of the key enabling technologies for fifth
generation (5 G) networks. In HetNets, the use of small base stations (SBSs) inside the …

In homogeneous cellular networks, fractional power control (FPC) is employed to partially
compensate the path-loss and, hence, improve uplink (UL) signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) …

Deploying ultra-dense small base stations (SBSs) in the coverage umbrella of a macro base
station (MBS) requires proactive users offloading form MBS to SBSs to achieve maximum …

In heterogeneous wireless networks, signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio (SINR) suffers
degradation due to strong interference received by users from offloaded macro base station …

Very recent studies showed that in a fully loaded dense small cell network (SCN), the
coverage probability performance will continuously decrease with the network densification …

In this paper, we examine the combined impacts of distance-dependent Rician fading
channel model and the absolute difference between the heights of base station (BS) and …

Very recent studies showed that in a fully loaded dense small cell network (SCN), the
coverage probability performance will continuously decrease with the network densification …

In this paper, we investigate the coverage performance and energy efficiency of multi-tier
heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNets) which are composed of macrocells and different …

For the emerging heterogeneous networks, the theoretical analysis has been largely limited
to using a Poisson point process (PPP) model for the locations of base stations (BSs). This …
