The choice of OFDM-based multi-carrier access techniques for LTE marked a fundamental
and farsighted parting from preceding 3GPP networks. With OFDMA in the downlink and SC …

The Internet of Things (IoT) aims at connecting a very large number of devices using an
Internet-like architecture. Machine-to-machine (M2M) networks are considered the main …

We present a design of a complete and practical scheduler for the 3GPP Long Term
Evolution (LTE) downlink by integrating recent results on resource allocation, fast …

Among the goals of 3GPP LTE networks are higher user bit rates, lower delays, increased
spectrum efficiency, support for diverse QoS requirements, reduced cost, and operational …

Single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) has been selected as the
uplink access scheme in the UTRA Long Term Evolution (LTE) due to its low peak-to …

In this paper, we propose a framework for energy efficient resource allocation in multiuser
localized SC-FDMA with synchronous HARQ constraints. Resource allocation is formulated …

SC-FDMA has been selected by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long
Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE Advanced (LTE-A), as the primary multiple access scheme for …

UTRAN long term evolution is currently under standardization within 3GPP with the aim of
providing a spectral efficiency 2 to 4 times higher than its predecessor HSUPA/HSDPA …

LTE uses the SC-FDMA radio access technology for its uplink transmission. As a result,
resources assigned to the same user must be contiguous in the frequency domain. Several …

M2M communication in the LTE network is gaining attention with a growing number of
connected devices and adaptation of new emerging technologies. Usually, the traffic …
