Driven by the explosive data traffic and new quality of service requirement of mobile users,
the communication industry has been experiencing a new evolution by means of network …

With an exaggerating upsurge in mobile data traffic, the wireless networks are confronted
with a subtle task of enhancing their network capacity. The shortage of spectrum resources …

Ultra-dense networks (UDNs), which can provide extremely high throughput and data rates,
have been considered as one of the key techniques for the fifth generation mobile networks …

In this paper, we investigate the resource allocation problem in two-tier heterogenous
networks (HetNets) with massive MIMO, where two frequency bands, cellular frequency …

This paper addresses the problem of joint backhaul (BH) and access link optimization in
dense small-cell networks with a special focus on time-division duplexing (TDD) mode of …

In this article, we first formulate the joint resource allocation, interference minimization, user-
level, and cell-level fairness for maximum resource reuse in 5G heterogeneous small cell …

Resource allocation (RA) has always had a prominent place in wireless communications
research due to its significance for network throughput maximization, and its inherent …

In this paper, we present a novel clustering‐based resource allocation framework for
downlink transmission in ultra‐dense small cell networks. Specifically, we first model a …

The fundamental idea of network decomposition is to break a large-scale network into
smaller parts such that the subnetworks can operate in parallel, each with a much lower …

We propose a four-stage hierarchical resource allocation scheme for the downlink of a large-
scale small-cell network in the context of orthogonal frequency-division multiple access …
