In this article, we introduce and study the potentials and challenges of integrated access and
backhaul (IAB) as one of the promising techniques for evolving 5G networks. We study IAB …

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is one of the most well-regard metaheuristics with
remarkable performance when solving diverse optimization problems. However, PSO faces …

Single-solution-based optimization algorithms have gained little to no attention by the
research community, unlike population-based approaches. This paper proposes a novel …

Small cells (SCs) based ultra-dense heterogeneous networks (HetNets) are one of the
promising solutions for increased coverage and capacity in 5G cellular networks. However …

This paper proposes a new user association control method to maximize system utility in
terms of system throughput, edge throughput, and handover cost in mmWave-based HMEC …

The paper proposes a novel cell sleeping mechanism for enhancing network energy‐
efficiency and to combat dynamic downlink interferences linked with mobile Small Cells …

The deployment of heterogeneous networks (HetNets) is one of the promising approaches
to meet the 5G requirements. The traditional user association approach is inefficient for …

This paper proposes a power allocation mechanism for the HetCNs which is both dynamic
and location-based. This mechanism could be adopted for both macrocells (MCs) and …

Coordinated multipoint joint transmission (JT-CoMP) is a promising solution to address inter-
cell interference in dense future wireless networks due its strength in converting interfering …

In this paper, a dynamic and location‐based power allocation mechanism is proposed which
could be adopted at both macrocell (MC) and overlaid fixed/mobile small cells (SCs) to …
