For more than three decades, stochastic geometry has been used to model large-scale ad
hoc wireless networks, and it has succeeded to develop tractable models to characterize …

For conventional wireless networks, the main target of resource allocation (RA) is to
efficiently utilize the available resources. Generally, there are no changes in the available …

The deployment of femtocells in a macrocell network is an economical and effective way to
increase network capacity and coverage. Nevertheless, such deployment is challenging due …

Energy efficient (EE) communication has earned tremendous interest in recent years due to
ever increasing number of wireless devices operating in shrinking cells, while demanding …

Abstract Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications emerge to autonomously operate to
link interactions between Internet cyber world and physical systems. We present the …

As the rollout of 4G mobile communication networks takes place, representatives of industry
and academia have started to look into the technological developments toward the next …

In a two-tier heterogeneous network (HetNet) where femto access points (FAPs) with lower
transmission power coexist with macro base stations (BSs) with higher transmission power …

Since non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with successive interference cancellation
(SIC) can achieve superior spectral-efficiency and energy-efficiency, the concept of SCN …

We propose an evolutionary game theory (EGT)-based distributed resource allocation
scheme for small cells underlaying a macro cellular network. EGT is a suitable tool to …

In this paper, the problem of uplink user association in small cell networks, which involves
interactions between users, small cell base stations, and macro-cell stations, having often …
