Soaring capacity and coverage demands dictate that future cellular networks need to
migrate soon toward ultra-dense networks. However, network densification comes with a …

Conventional cellular systems are designed to ensure ubiquitous coverage with an always
present wireless channel irrespective of the spatial and temporal demand of service. This …

For many, this is no longer a valid question and the case is considered settled with software
defined networking/network function virtualization (SDN/NFV) providing the inevitable …

To meet the surging demand of increasing mobile Internet traffic from diverse applications
while maintaining moderate energy cost, the radio access network of cellular systems needs …

Future components to enhance the basic, native security of 5G networks are either complex
mechanisms whose impact in the requiring 5G communications are not considered, or …

In this paper, a multi-objective resource allocation algorithm in a novel density-aware design
of virtualized software-defined cloud radio access network (C-RAN) is proposed. We …

The introduction of Software-Defined Radio Access Networks in 5G, whose main feature is
the possibility of decoupling the control plane from the data plane, and associating the …

Software-Defined Radio Access Networks (SD-RANs), introduced in 5G, represent a
paradigm shift in the process of cellular network resource allocation. The decoupling of the …

Future mobile networks are envisioned to become multi-service systems, enabling the
dynamic deployment of services with vastly different performance requirements …

5G is an evolutionary technology that will deliver newer capabilities for several use cases
apart from greater capacity and speed in the wireless networks. To cope with the rapid …
