We characterize a two tier heterogeneous network, consisting of classical sub-6 GHz macro
cells, and multi radio access technology (RAT) small cells able to operate in sub-6 GHz and …

With the proliferation of cellular networks, the ubiquitous availability of new-generation
multimedia devices, and their wide-ranging data applications, telecom network operators …

The 5G standard is aimed at supporting Quality of Service (QoS)-constrained traffic types,
enabling new services to be reliably built into scenarios such as industrial automation and …

This paper presents a cooperation framework for sharing base stations (BSs) among N
number of collocated radio-access networks (RANs) for improving energy efficiency (EE) …

The Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) includes both the optimal allocation of shared
channels and power in a network. Hence, obtaining the trade-off between energy …

Intending to enhance the utilization of the radio spectrum in cognitive radio without inflecting
the primary user is a primary issue. Cooperative sensing techniques have been proposed to …

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 …

Maximizing network lifetime of unreliable and resource constrained wireless networks such
as mobile ad hoc networks involves optimal allocation of power and shared channels in the …

Mobile operators are continuously expanding network infrastructure through the deployment
of additional base stations to satisfy ever growing user demands. In parallel, number of …
