Cellular networks have become one of the critical infrastructures, as many services depend
increasingly on wireless connectivity. Therefore, it is important to quantify the resilience of …

Mobile network operators are facing the difficult task of significantly increasing capacity to
meet projected demand while keeping CAPEX and OPEX down. We argue that …

A key distinction between today's and future networks is the appetite for reliable
communication to support emerging critical-communication services. In this paper, we study …

In a world of open data and large-scale measurements, it is often feasible to obtain a real-
world trace to fit to one's research problem. Feasible, however, does not imply simple …

Exploiting multi-carrier access offers a promising direction to boost access quality in mobile
networks. However, our experiments show that, the current practice does not achieve the full …

The dense deployment of high and low power nodes, ie, eNodeBs (eNBs) and small cells
(SCs), respectively, is expected to be the core element of fifth generation (5G) networks …

We assess the fundamental trade-offs between spectrum and radio access infrastructure
sharing. Specifically, we analyze three mobile network sharing scenarios: radio access …

The next generation of mobile networks will bring an appetite for reliable communication,
which enables emerging critical-communication services. In this paper, we present network …

Accessing multiple carrier networks (T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T, and so on) offers a promising
paradigm for smartphones to boost its mobile network quality. However, the current practice …

With more and more demand from devices to use wireless communication networks, there
has been an increased interest in resource sharing among operators, to give a better link …
