We investigate a wireless system of multiple cells, each having a downlink shared channel
in support of high-speed packet data services. In practice, such a system consists of …

This paper investigates joint user association (UA) and user scheduling (US) for load
balancing over the downlink of a wireless heterogeneous network by formulating a network …

In heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs), it is desirable to offload mobile users to small
cells, which are typically significantly less congested than the macrocells. To achieve …

With the interworking between a cellular network and wireless local area networks (WLANs),
an essential aspect of resource management is taking advantage of the overlay network …

Long Term Evolution (LTE)-Advanced is expected to aggregate multiple Component Carrier
(CC) s to fulfil the high data rate requirement. It may serve users with different capabilities in …

Next-generation cellular networks will provide higher cell capacity by adopting advanced
physical layer techniques and broader bandwidth. Even in such networks, boundary users …

Ongoing next-generation networks are expected to be deployed over current existing
