The fifth generation (5G) of mobile communication system aims to deliver a ubiquitous
mobile service with enhanced quality of service (QoS). It is also expected to enable new use …

One of the most engaging challenges for mobile operators today is how to manage the
exponential data traffic increase. Mobile data offloading stands out as a promising and low …

As the spectral efficiency of a point-to-point link in cellular networks approaches its
theoretical limits, with the forecasted explosion of data traffic, there is a need for an increase …

Femtocells are being considered a promising technique to improve the capacity and
coverage for indoor wireless users. However, the cross-tier interference in the spectrum …

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 …

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 …

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 …

In this paper, we propose a joint subchannel and power allocation algorithm for the downlink
of an orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) mixed femtocell/macrocell …

Support of femtocells is an integral part of the Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A)
system and a key enabler for its wide adoption in a broad scale. Femtocells are short-range …

Small cell base stations (SBSs) and multiple antennas are seen as fundamental
technologies in the emergence of the next generation [ie, 5th generation (5G)] of cellular …
