In this paper, we propose a distributed cluster formation (CF) and resource allocation (RA)
framework for non-ideal non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) schemes in …

In this survey, a comprehensive study is provided, regarding the use of machine learning
(ML) algorithms for effective resource management in fifth-generation and beyond (5G/B5G) …

Radio resource management (RRM) for future fifth-generation (5G) heterogeneous networks
(HetNets) has emerged as a critical area due to the increased density of small-cell networks …

Abstract Device-to-Device (D2D) multicast communication is a new technology of the fifth-
generation networks (5G) for efficiently coping with the ever-increasing demand for content …

In this paper, we consider a non-ideal successive interference cancellation receiver-based
imperfect non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) schemes whose performance is limited …

In this paper, resource allocation and interference mitigation are investigated for
heterogeneous networks where the lowest tier consists of device-to-device (D2D) cells. In …

The emergence of new uplink (UL) intensive applications, coupled with the ambitious vision
of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), will soon unleash unprecedented increases in UL wireless …

Abstract Downlink (DL)-uplink (UL) coupled cell association scheme was adopted in 3rd
generation (3G) homogeneous network and 4th generation (4G) heterogeneous network …

With the rise of data-hungry applications and the rapid development of the Internet-of-Things
(IoT), 5G and device-to-device (D2D) communications come into being. While such …
