Mobile-broadband traffic has experienced a large increase over the past few years.
Femtocells are envisioned to cope with such a demand of capacity in indoor environments …

The growth of mobile traffic volume has been exploded because of the rapid improvement of
mobile devices and their applications. Heterogeneous networks (HetNets) can be an …

Self-organizing network (SON) mechanisms in cellular systems automate network
management procedures to improve performance while reducing operational expenditure …

Femtocells have been suggested as a promising solution for the provision of indoor
coverage and capacity. This article investigates the problem of re-distributing traffic demand …

The use of static system-level simulators is common practice for estimating the impact of re-
planning actions in cellular networks. In this paper, a modification of a classical static Long …

Mobility Load Balancing (MLB) is one of the most important functions of Self-Organizing
Networks (SON) in Long Term Evolution (LTE). The conventional MLB schemes based on …

In modern heterogeneous wireless networks (HWN), multi-mode devices perform
autonomous connection management (ACM) to select the best connections. This selection …

Femtocells enable LTE technology when deployed in large numbers. However, every
femtocell needs to self-optimize its control parameters in response to surrounding dynamic …

The emergence of new high-end, hand-held devices and smart phones, is inexorably
shifting users' focus towards more data intensive applications like network gaming, video …

In cellular networks, traffic demand is unevenly distributed both in time and space. This
paper investigates the problem of re-distributing traffic demand between Long-Term …
