Next generation wireless network (NGWN) is a mixture of various heterogeneous
technology. It allows the global information access to the user while moving from one …

The heterogeneity is one of the key characteristics of the future wireless networks. How to
provide terminal users with the best connection anytime and anywhere become more …

The future 5G communication will bring about the surge of traffic. The traffic of cellular
network has great non-uniformity and volatility in space and time, which brings opportunities …

In 5G networks, microcells are densely deployed for the spatial reuse to cooperate with the
traditional macrocells, and thus a moving user equipment (UE) usually experiences a more …

Heterogeneous wireless networks (HWNs) have aroused numerous interest in the past few
years in which efficient vertical handoff algorithms are currently attracting much attention …

Support of ubiquitous roaming in fourth generation or beyond third generation (4G/B3G)
networks (MR Kibria et al., 2005) will require accurate vertical handoff prediction in order to …

One of the most anticipated approaches to overcoming the uncertainty of millimeter wave
(mmWave) network is the deployment of ultra-dense small-cells in future fifth generation …

The mobility load balancing is introduced to avoid the quality of service degradation due to
imbalanced load through small cells of the network. This paper proposes a mobility load …

Rapid demands for large capacity services and shortage spectrum resources have
motivated the deployment of small cells in LTE-A network. Small cells are low-cost, low …

Switching off base stations (BSs) is an effective and efficient energy-saving solution for
green cellular networks. The previous works focus mainly on when to switch off BSs without …
