Long term evolution (LTE) carrier aggregation with 5 GHz unlicensed national informational
infrastructure band has been pointed out by the industry as a good solution to handle the …

Increasing capacity demands in emerging wireless technologies are expected to be met by
network densification and spectrum bands open to multiple technologies. These will, in turn …

With both small-cell LTE and Wi-Fi networks available as alternatives for deployment in
unlicensed bands (notably 5 GHz), the investigation into their coexistence is a topic of active …

LTE-Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) networks are beginning to be deployed widely in
major metropolitan areas in the US in the unlicensed 5 GHz bands, which have existing …

Operating LTE networks in unlicensed bands together with legacy WiFi systems is deemed
as a promising technique to support explosively growing mobile traffic. In conventional …

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as one of the growing fields in digital
technology over the past decade. A primary goal of IoT is to connect physical objects to the …

Shortage of available licensed spectrum is a major barrier to the development of 5G
networks. The deployment of long term evolution (LTE) in unlicensed spectrum (LTE-U) is a …

This paper studies spectrum sharing for providing better quality of experience in 5G
networks, which are characterized by multidimensional heterogeneity in terms of spectrum …

During the last years, the growth of wireless traffic pushed the wireless community to search
for solutions that can assist in a more efficient management of the spectrum. Toward this …

We study the fair coexistence of scheduled and random access transmitters sharing the
same frequency channel. Interest in coexistence is topical due to the need for emerging …
