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 …

This chapter elaborates on the most significant components in the smartphone usage, which
is the space discovery paradigms, and discusses offline tracking applications. Rahmati and …

The future of services is expected to heavily rely on" Internet of Things"(IoT) and the ability to
create smart spaces such as, smart cities, smart houses, smart transportation, and smart …

Inbound handover (HO) or hand-in is done when the user equipment (UE) performs HO from
a macrocell (MC) to a small cell (SC), while the outbound HO or handout is done when a UE …

One of the principal thrusts of proposed fifth‐generation networks is the provisioning of
mixed services or heterogeneous quality of service, which includes delay‐sensitive and …

The increasing demand for wireless networks calls for the use of heterogeneous networks in
order to fulfil user requirements. Mobility management is considered one of the important …

This chapter presents an overview of the related attempts for HetNet modeling in the
literature. It highlights the assumed and used system models. The chapter proposes the …

In indoor environments, the performance of ultra-dense cellular networks is significantly
affected by blockages, especially for ultra-high frequencies. However, previous works either …

Cable and Wireless Networks: Theory and Practice presents a comprehensive approach to
networking, cable and wireless communications, and networking security. It describes the …

We address the femtocell clustering together with the resource allocation in macro-femtocell
networks. The clustering schemes allow the implementation of distributed approaches that …
