Originating from basic research conducted in the 1970's and 1980's, the parallel and
distributed simulation field has matured over the last few decades. Today, operational …

We investigate opportunistic cooperation between secondary (femtocell) users and primary
(macrocell) users in cognitive femtocell networks. We consider two models for such …

Meeting citizens' requirements economically and efficiently is the most important objective of
Smart Cities. As a matter of fact, they are considered a key concept both for future Internet …

We address interference avoidance by resource partitioning in densely deployed femtocell
networks. The main objective is to protect user equipments (UEs) that are located near the …

Abstract In recent times, Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) achieves the capacity and
coverage for indoors through the deployment of small cells ie femtocells (HeNodeBs). These …

Femto-cells consist of user-deployed Home Evolved NodeBs (HeNBs) that promise
substantial gains in system spectral efficiency, coverage, and data rates due to an enhanced …

This paper addresses the interference management problem in the context of LTE-
Advanced femtocells. Due to the expected large number of user-deployed cells, centralized …

In this paper, a distributed and autonomous technique for resource and power allocation in
orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) femto-cellular networks is …

This paper presents a derivation of the probability density function (PDF) of the signal-to-
interference and noise ratio (SINR) for the downlink of a cell in multicellular networks. The …

This article studies the problem of distributed interference avoidance (IA) through channel
selection for distributed wireless networks, where mutual interference only occurs among …
