In this paper, a survey of the literature of the past 15 years involving machine learning (ML)
algorithms applied to self-organizing cellular networks is performed. In order for future …

This paper provides an overview of the use of small cells (eg, femtocells) in the Internet of
Things (IoT) environments. As a result of rapid increase in the number of mobile connected …

Femtocells, despite their name, pose a potentially large disruption to the carefully planned
cellular networks that now connect a majority of the planet's citizens to the Internet and with …

OFDMA femtocells have been pointed out by the industry as a good solution not only to
overcome the indoor coverage problem but also to deal with the growth of traffic within …

This paper investigates price-based resource allocation strategies for two-tier femtocell
networks, in which a central macrocell is underlaid with distributed femtocells, all operating …

Increase in system capacity and data rates can be achieved efficiently in a wireless system
by getting the transmitter and receiver closer to each other. Femtocells deployed in the …

Seamless and ubiquitous coverage are key factors for future cellular networks. Despite
capacity and data rates being the main topics under discussion when envisioning the Fifth …

The explosive development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has
significantly enlarged both the energy demands and the CO 2 emissions, and consequently …

This paper provides a tutorial on mobility-aware performance analysis of cellular networks
considering both the spatially random [where base stations (BSs) are deployed according to …

In the fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks, proactive network optimisation plays an
important role in meeting the exponential traffic growth, more stringent service requirements …
