Dense heterogeneous networks constitute the paradigm for the future networks. In fact,
recent studies demonstrate that the data traffic demand increases exponentially and the …

We study in this paper the impact of small cells on the capacity and energy consumption of
an LTE-Advanced network in a heterogeneous setting where macro cells coexist with …

Macro base stations are overlaid by small cells to satisfy the demands of user equipment in
heterogeneous networks. To provide wide coverage, some small cells are not directly …

In this paper, we show the impact of femtocells deployment on the capacity of LTE-Advanced
networks. We analyze the Erlang-like capacity of a network composed of macro networks …

We study the effect of deployment of low cost, low power micro base stations along with
macro base stations on energy consumption and capacity of downlink LTE.[1] studied this …

In this paper, we address the problem of associating mobile stations (MSs) with base
stations (BSs) in an energy-efficient manner. We take a population game approach, which …

Mobile operators nowadays tend to deploy dense heterogeneous layers of 3G and 4G
networks in outdoor and indoor environments by adding more macrocells and small cells …

Ultra dense small cell deployments will play a critical role in addressing future capacity
requirements in dense urban outdoor and indoor environments such as train stations and …

To meet the increasing demand for wireless capacity, future networks are likely to consist of
dense layouts of small cells. The number of users in each cell is thus reduced, which results …

The explosive data traffic demands stress the need for additional capacity in cellular
systems, which can be achieved through the exploitation of Small Cells (SCs). However, the …
