Network densification and millimeter-wave technologies are key enablers to fulfill the
capacity and data rate requirements of the fifth generation (5G) of mobile networks. In this …

In this survey paper, we first provide insights on the evolution of radio access networks
(RANs) through investigating the existing paradigms and future trends towards 6G. We then …

Abstract Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning is based on various network management
techniques including resource management and medium access control (MAC). Various …

Driven by the soaring traffic demand and the growing diversity of mobile services, wireless
networks are evolving to be increasingly dense and heterogeneous. Accordingly, in such …

Using a multi-armed bandit technique, we propose centralized and semi-distributed online
algorithms for load balancing user association and handover in mmWave-enabled networks …

The dense deployment of millimeter wave small cells combined with directional
beamforming is a promising solution to enhance the network capacity of the current …

We consider the latency minimization problem in a task-offloading scenario, where multiple
servers are available to the user equipment for outsourcing computational tasks. To account …

Using a reinforcement learning multi-armed bandit (MAB) technique, we design a
centralized and a semi-distributed online algorithms, for performing load balancing user …

Modern communication and computing technology is the basic support of the industrial
intelligent systems (IIS). As a key component of IIS, the smart port is essential to be offered …

We study the problem of user association, namely finding the optimal assignment of user
equipment to base stations to achieve a targeted network performance. In this paper, we …
