Fifth generation (5G) of the cellular network is envisioned to provide diverse services to the
users including high data rates, energy efficiency, and low latency. The number of Internet of …

The Internet of Everything is currently in demand and has burdened the network
tremendously. Accommodating this exponential increase in demand will require improved …

Increasing spectrum efficiency in new-generation communication networks is possible by
raising the operating frequencies or increasing the number of serving cells. Both of the …

The widespread application of wireless mobile services and requirements of ubiquitous
access have resulted in drastic growth of the mobile traffic and huge energy consumption in …

With the increasing presence of latency‐critical applications and services along with the
high demand for ubiquitous connectivity, a new challenge arise in the design of the next …

Security and efficiency during the handover process are critical challenges in 5G
heterogeneous networks owing to its strict low latency and security requirements. The 5G …

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology is becoming more prevalent and more diverse
in its application. 5G and beyond networks must enable UAV connectivity. This will require …

To satisfy the high data demands in future cellular networks, an ultra-densification approach
is introduced to shrink the coverage of base station (BS) and improve the frequency reuse. In …

Whereas 4G LTE networks have brought about an increase in data rates of mobile networks,
they are unable to meet the capacity demands of future networks. Specifically, the …

In this paper, we address the signaling overhead and the power consumption that results
from the transmission of handover-related signaling in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular …
