In this paper, a novel framework is proposed to jointly optimize user association and
resource allocation in the uplink cognitive femtocell network (CFN). In the considered CFN …

In view of cost-effective implementations, scalable infrastructure and elastic capacity on
demand, virtualization and cloud computing are now becoming the cornerstones of any …

In recent years, with the rapid increase in the number of mobile connected devices and data
traffic, mobile operators have been trying to find solutions to provide better coverage and …

With fastWith fast growing traffic, high-density small cells (SC) deployment is envisioned in
5G network under the macrocell (MC) coverage area. This will improve the capacity and the …

Deployment of femtocell in macrocell cellular network which forms two-tier femtocell-
macrocell cellular network faces more complicated interference problems, since it uses the …

Inbound handover (HO) or hand-in is accomplished when the user equipment (UE) performs
HO from macrocell (MC) to a small cell (SC)[1][2]. When the UE connects to a SC with a time …

We present a thorough experimental and formal analysis of users' privacy in mobile
telephony systems. In particular, we experimentally analyse the use of pseudonyms and …

Two empirical indoor‐to‐outdoor path loss models to facilitate femtocell network deployment
are derived from continuous wave power measurements. A large set of indoor–outdoor …

The explosion in wireless telecommunication technologies has lead to a huge increase in
the number of mobile users. The greater dependency on the mobile devices has raised the …

3G networks evolve to Long Term Evolution (LTE) in order to satisfy the increasing demands
of data rates in both downlink and uplink, OPEX/CAPEX operators' requirements and needs …
