Abstract Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is one of the technologies on the spotlight
for enhancing the cellular network performance towards the fifth generation wireless …

In the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster, network infrastructure is likely to have
suffered severe damages that challenge normal communications. In addition to that, traffic …

The power system is continuously evolving towards a smarter grid by adding intelligent
electrical devices that leverage communication technologies to provide visualisation, control …

After disasters occurrence, advanced technologies always play significant contributions to
various disaster response tasks. For instance, utilization of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) …

Communication networks are exposed to a variety of massive failure events following from
activities of nature, weather-induced disruptions, technology-implied problems, and …

We study the emergency communication problem in the post-disaster scenario. The
emergence of Renewable Energy-enabled Based Station (REBS), which has pre-equipped …

One of the key features of next-generation mobile networks is the ability to satisfy the
requirements coming from different verticals. For satisfying these requirements, 5G networks …

We hereby present a novel interference mitigation strategy specifically designed to enhance
the quality of service that a typical terrestrial user equipment (UE) would experience after the …

In this paper, we propose a user centered handoff scheme for hybrid 5G environments. The
handoff problem is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem which maximizes …

The movable and deployable resource unit (MDRU)-based network provides
communication services in disaster-struck areas where the lack of spectrum and energy …
