To overcome the limitations of Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) with short
range, non-supportability of high density networks, unreliable broadcast services, signal …

To enable reliable connectivity in highly dynamic and dense communication environments,
aerial-terrestrial heterogeneous cellular networks (AT-HCNs) have been proposed as a …

Cell selection in cellular networks is an important aspect that impacts the quality of service.
The traditional cell selection mechanism is based on downlink received power. Despite the …

The performance of heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs) is typically analyzed with the
assumption that the users connect with the same base station in uplink and downlink …

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 …

Keeping in consideration the expected need of node densification of heterogeneous cellular
networks in near future, it is imperative that more accurate path loss models be used when …

Low powered node densification leading to dense and ultra dense heterogeneous networks
is a feature of 5th generation cellular networks. With this densification, the nature of the link …

Uplink power control in cellular networks have proved to be an effective technique for
reducing uplink interference levels, resulting in improved uplink signal to interference and …

In this paper, the impact of varying path loss exponent (PLE) on user association probability,
decoupled uplink coverage probability as well as decoupled uplink average spectral …
