With the dramatic increase of connected devices, the Internet of things (IoT) paradigm has
become an important solution in supporting dense scenarios such as smart cities. The …

Future wireless networks will be facing unprecedented difficulties arising from mobile traffic
growth, network densification, as well as diversification of applications and services. Indeed …

Heterogeneous networks (HetNets), in which small cells overlay macro cells, are a cost‐
effective approach to increase the capacity of cellular networks. However, HetNets have …

In this work, we investigate the problem of joint user-to-access points (AP) association and
beamforming in an integrated sub-6GHz/mmWave system. The goal is to maximize the long …

The joint provision of higher data rates and massive Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity has
been identified as one of the key milestones toward beyond 5G (B5G). To this end, we …

In future wireless networks, more and more users will be requiring various applications
provided by multiple wireless interfaces simultaneously. This poses significant challenges …

Previous research has shown the relationship between the number of users connected to a
cellular network base station (BS) and its energy consumption. For this reason, the study of …

Sensor fusion has attracted a lot of research attention during the few last years. Recently, a
new research direction has emerged dealing with sensor fusion without knowledge of the …

This work investigates the design of a sustainable Deep Q-Network (DQN) implemented at
the user device, whose purpose is to optimize the user's association to multiple access …

In this paper, the user-base station association problem is addressed to reduce grid
consumption in heterogeneous cellular networks powered by hybrid energy sources (grid …
