Multi-stream carrier aggregation (MSCA) has been recently proposed as a mechanism to
increase the amount of bandwidth available to users for heterogeneous networks (HetNets) …

Spectrum sharing is particularly promising for 5G-oriented millimeter-wave (MMW) networks,
since MMW network deployments are predominantly expected to be only partially …

Some of the most recent LTE features require synchronous base stations, and time-
synchronized base stations also offer opportunities for improved handover mechanisms by …

Elevation beamforming and Full Dimension MIMO (FD-MIMO) has been an active area of
research and standardization in 3GPP LTE-Advanced. In an FD-MIMO system, a base …

A large-scale clustered massive MIMO network is proposed for improving the spectral
efficiency of the next-generation wireless infrastructure by maximizing its sum-rate. Our …

(57) ABSTRACT A method for a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method comprises
receiving, from a base station (BS), information via a dynamic signaling comprising at least …

Dynamic Point selection (DPS) is a key Downlink (DL) Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP)
technique that switches the serving data Transmission Point (TP) of a User Equipment (UE) …

Energy efficient cellular networking has recently drawn increasing attention for reducing
network operation cost without sacrificing the quality of service (QoS). This paper proposes a …

As the capacity and performance of the LTE data channels are progressively improved, the
downlink control channels can potentially become the bottleneck. To address this issue, an …

This paper proposes a novel framework for PV‐powered cellular networks with a standby
grid supply and an essential energy management technique for achieving envisaged green …
