We experience a major paradigm shift in mobile networks. The infrastructure of cellular
networks is becoming mobile since it is being densified also by using mobile and nomadic …

Abstract Within the Fifth Generation framework of dynamic network topology and moving
cells, the nomadic node (NN) concept is seen as a promising paradigm to provide coverage …

In this paper, we assess the performance gains of mobility on the downlink of cellular data
networks. These gains are only due to the elastic nature of traffic and thus observed even …

In this paper we use real data to investigate the correlation in time and space between
vehicular traffic and telecom traffic in cellular networks. The analysis of such a correlation is …

This paper provides a first investigation of twice-mobile networks, ie, cellular networks where
both the end users and (part of) the radio access network infrastructure are mobile. Twice …

Determining the position and velocity of mobiles is an important issue for hierarchical
cellular networks since the efficient allocation of mobiles to large or microcells depends on …

There have been a bulk of analytic results about the performance of cellular networks where
base stations are regularly located on a hexagonal or square lattice. This regular model …

This paper studies the base station (BS) spatial distributions across different scenarios in
urban, rural, and coastal zones, based on real BS deployment data sets obtained from two …

The evolution of current wireless access networks towards 5G and beyond is characterized,
among others, by the provisioning of high-bandwidth services and by the capability of …

With the exponential increase in mobile internet traffic driven by a new generation of
wireless devices, future cellular networks face a great challenge to meet this overwhelming …
