Most service providers offer an unlimited data service plan under a flat, fixed-rate contract to
meet the huge demand. However, because service quality and user experience can vary …

In this paper the feasibility of femtocells partially reusing GSM spectrum is investigated. Due
to the increasing scarcity and cost of spectrum, partial spectrum reuse by secondary …

With considerable interest being garnered in recent years, femto-cells are seen as a major
contender to significantly increase capacity and fill coverage holes in 3rd Generation …

Coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission introduced by long-term evolution-advanced
(LTE-A) cellular systems has shown great promise for improving network spectral efficiency …

The ability to seamlessly switch between the macro networks and femtocell networks is a
key driver for femtocell network deployment. The handover procedures for the integrated …

Femto-cells promise substantial gains in system spectral efficiency due to an enhanced
reuse of radio resources. Femto-cells may be employed in a co-channel fashion such that …

Future mobile networks following Long Term Evolution (LTE) will be characterized by
demanding services, in terms of bandwidth and delay, already dominant in wired networks …

This paper considers a problem of user and access point associations in heterogeneous
wireless networks consisting of multiple radio access technologies. We propose a strategy …

Introduced by long-term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) cellular systems, coordinated multi-
point (CoMP) transmission has shown remarkable aptitude for improving network …

This paper focuses on mitigation of cross-tier and co-tier interference for dense deployment
of the femtocells (FAPs). We propose a centralized dynamic radio resource allocation …
