To cope with the conflict between the increasing data traffic demands and scarcity of
available spectrum resources in wireless networks, multi-tier heterogeneous networks within …

In the 5th generation cellular systems, heterogeneous communication networks allow
multiple base stations (BSs) to serve the users cooperatively, which can satisfy the …

In this paper, we propose a new diversity-oriented space-frequency block codes (SFBC) and
signal alignment (SA) enabled physical network coding (PNC) method for the uplink of …

Mobile traffic in cellular based networks is increasing exponentially, mainly due to the use of
data intensive services like video. One effective way to cope with these demands is to …

The deployment of small‐cells within the boundaries of a macrocell is considered to be an
effective solution to cope with the current trend of higher data rates and improved system …

The deployment of small-cells along a macro-cell is considered to be an effective solution in
order to increase the capacity and offload the traffic from the macro-cell system. In current …

In this paper we consider the application of joint signal alignment (SA) and physical network
coding (PNC) for the uplink of heterogeneous networks. The joint design of SA and PNC …

This paper addresses interference issues in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
downlink heterogeneous networks in which multiple small cells are deployed in macrocell …

The coexistence of a macrocell and a number of femtocells often leads to a two‐tier
heterogeneous network, where the co‐tier interference (CotIN) and cross‐tier interference …

In this paper, we consider the application of signal alignment (SA) enabled physical network
coding (PNC) for the uplink of heterogeneous networks. The joint design of SA and PNC has …
