This paper provides an overview of the use of small cells (eg, femtocells) in the Internet of
Things (IoT) environments. As a result of rapid increase in the number of mobile connected …

In this paper, we examine the impact of uplink spectrum allocation on the backhaul energy
allocation in a decentralized setting. We consider that two small base stations (SBSs) use …

Prospective demands of next-generation wireless networks are ambitious and will require
cellular networks to support thousand times higher data rates and ten times lower round-trip …

The paper formulates the cluster based (Hybrid Energy Efficient Distribution) HEED routing
strategy for cognitive radio sensor networks (CRSN) using the principles of spectrum …

The development of wireless communication networks has made spectrum management
more compulsory. Different systems such as Multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC …

In cooperative spectrum sensing of cognitive radio based network, various methods of soft
decision fusion (SDF) and hard decision fusion (HDF) schemes have been proposed to …

Cognitive small-cell networks have great potential in improving spectrum efficiency and
mitigating inter-cell interference. Comprehensively classifying the channel states in cognitive …

Cognitive radio technology is still the key technology of future mobile communication
systems. Previous studies have focused on improving spectrum utilization and less energy …
