5G systems are envisaged to support a wide range of application scenarios with variate
requirements. To handle this heterogeneity, 5G architecture includes network slicing …

Cognitive radio (CR) is a hopeful technology to sort out spectrum scarcity and
underutilization problem in ad hoc networks. With the help of cognitive radio technology …

This paper investigates a joint uplink and downlink resource allocation problem for a 5G use
case. We explore the social-awareness of the network operators to efficiently match users …

Spectrum handoff (SHO) is an essential technique in dynamic spectrum access policy to
guarantee seamless and robust service of a cognitive radio. Link maintenance probability …

Network slicing is a key feature of 5G architecture that allows the partitioning of the network
into multiple logical networks, known as network slices, where each of them is customised …

In wired communication, the point-to-point traffic model is used to determine the blocking
probability for four different types of network topology: i) links are in series, ii) links are in …

Abstract The Smart Grid (SG) as an intelligent power network, depends on a reliable and
efficient communication network to provide two-way communication, which is a prime feature …
