To meet the explosively increased data traffic demand from 5G and beyond, one of the most
promising technologies is densified heterogeneous networks (HetNets). In HetNets, base …

In this paper, we propose a novel centralized beamforming control system, using optical true
time delay pools (OTTD-Ps), for multiple base stations (BSs) of wireless communication with …

The progression of Software Defined Networking (SDN) and the virtualisation technologies
lead to the beyond 5G era, providing multiple benefits in the smart economies. However …

The deployment of 5G networks has led to a significant increase in demand for high-speed
data rates and improved overall network performance. HetNets are a promising solution for …

This paper explores decoupled access (DA) in terms of association probability and uplink
(UL) spectral efficiency in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) heterogeneous …

The millimeter waves (mmWave) bands, considered to support the forthcoming generation of
mobile communications technologies, have a well-known vulnerability to blockages. Recent …

This paper investigates the uplink (UL) and downlink decoupled access in heterogeneous
networks with backhaul constraints. A capacity-based user association policy is proposed for …

The internet-of-things (IoT) is expected to have a transformative impact in several different
domains, including energy management in smart grids, manufacturing, transportation, smart …

Traditionally, the uplink and downlink in a cellular network are associated with the same
base station and the same frequency band since it promotes simpler network design …

Ultra dense networks (UDNs) allow for efficient spatial reuse of the spectrum, giving rise to
substantial capacity and power gains. However, recent findings have demonstrated that the …
