We experience a major paradigm shift in mobile networks. The infrastructure of cellular
networks is becoming mobile since it is being densified also by using mobile and nomadic …

Mobile users have not been able to exploit spatio-temporal differences between individual
mobile networks operators for a variety of reasons. End user network switching and …

Abstract Enhancing the Quality of Experience (QoE) in wireless networks is a crucial issue.
Many acknowledged works focus on intra-cellular scheduling. They have shown that when …

The exponential growth in the usage of mobile networks along with the increasing number of
User Equipments (UEs) are exacerbating the scarcity of frequency resources. Dense …

Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) techniques are proposed as solutions to alleviate
the negative impact of interference on system performance, while enhancing the provided …

Interference coordination is regarded as one of the most significant techniques in
heterogeneous networks (HetNets). In this paper, we propose a novel interference …

Having multiple optimization functions in a mobile network brings demanding challenges in
terms of coordination of potentially conflicting objectives. Typically each function aims at …

Coordinated multipoint transmission (CoMP) and soft frequency reuse (SFR) techniques are
two common mechanisms that are often combined with the aim of reducing the deleterious …

Almost blank subframes (ABSs) have been defined in LTE as a means to coordinate
transmissions in heterogeneous networks (HetNets), composed of macro and micro …

During the last decade, wireless data services have had an incredible impact on people's
lives in ways we could never have imagined. The number of mobile devices has increased …
