Network densification is seen as a necessary trend in the evolution toward 5G networks to
cope with future high-traffic demands. In particular, the use of femtocells seems to be the …

A novel modularity-based user-centric (MUC) clustering is conceived for resource allocation
in ultra dense networks (UDNs), in order to maximize the sum-rate per orthogonal resource …

For small cell technology to significantly increase the capacity of tower-based cellular
networks, mobile users will need to be actively pushed onto the more lightly loaded tiers …

Coordinated multi-point (CoMP) communication is attractive for heterogeneous cellular
networks (HCNs) for interference reduction. However, previous approaches to CoMP face …

Mobile edge computing (MEC) is a key enabler for ultra-low latency in heterogeneous dense
cellular networks in the 5G era and beyond, by deploying services at the network edge. Due …

Mobile edge computing (MEC) is an enabling technology for low-latency AI applications, by
caching AI services originally deployed in remote data centers to 5G base stations in …

Coordinated multipoint, or CoMP, transmission has been recognized as a spectrally efficient
technique for full frequency reuse cellular systems, in which base stations cooperate to …

Multi-tier cellular networks are considered as an effective solution to enhance the coverage
and data rate offered by cellular systems. In a multi-tier network, high power base stations …

In this paper, we propose a series of novel coordination schemes for multi-cell downlink
communication. Starting from full base station (BS) coordination, we first propose a fully …

Coordinated multi-point (CoMP) is a new class of transmission schemes for interference
reduction in the next generation of mobile networks. We have implemented and tested a …
