Today's heterogeneous networks comprised of mostly macrocells and indoor small cells will
not be able to meet the upcoming traffic demands. Indeed, it is forecasted that at least a 100 …

Self-organization as applied to cellular networks is usually referred to Selforganizing
Networks (SONs), and it is a key driver for improving Operations, Administration, and …

Femtocells are a solution that helps to reduce the capital and operational expenditure of a
mobile network while enhancing system coverage and capacity. However, the avoidance of …

By deploying additional low power nodes (LPNs) within the coverage area of traditional high
power nodes (HPNs) and bringing them closer to users, underlay heterogeneous networks …

In this paper, we study the problem of cooperative interference management in an OFDMA
two-tier small cell network. In particular, we propose a novel approach for allowing the small …

In this paper we consider a heterogeneous LTE network where femto cells are randomly
deployed in a macro network. Femto cells are modeled as closed cells, namely only group …

Clustering in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is one of the techniques that can expand the
lifetime of the whole network through data aggregation at the cluster head. This paper …

A framework and class library (GAV Flash) implemented in Adobe's ActionScript is
introduced, designed with the intention to significantly shorten the time and effort needed to …

This paper proposes a technique for improving the accuracy of mobile device movement
trajectory reconstruction using passive mobile positioning data. The major sources of …

Self-organizing network (SON) is a well-known approach to reduce the complexity and the
cost of cellular network management. It aims at replacing the manual configuration and …
