Densification of network base stations is indispensable to achieve the stringent Quality of
Service (QoS) requirements of future mobile networks. However, with a dense deployment of …

In this paper, we optimize user scheduling, power allocation and beamforming in distributed
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) networks implementing user-centric clustering. We …

Existing works concluded that coherent transmission outperforms non-coherent transmission
in the downlink of cell-free systems when the fronthaul links have unlimited capacity. Since …

We study the problem of managing handoffs (HOs) in user-centric cell-free massive MIMO
(UC-mMIMO) networks. Motivated by the importance of controlling the number of HOs and …

In this paper, two centralized power allocation schemes are proposed for data transmission
during the uplink phase in the user-centric cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input multiple …

In this paper, we investigate the joint beamforming design for access and fronthaul links in a
user-centric network with full-duplex fronthaul. We formulate an optimization problem to …

In this paper, a cross-layer optimization problem of access point selection (APS) and
beamforming (BF) in cell free network (CFN) has been studied, where constraints of per …

In this paper, the cross-layer optimization problem of access point selection (APS) and
beamforming (BF) in cell-free network (CFN) with local CSI is studied, where constraints of …

Existing works on cell-free systems consider either coherent or non-coherent downlink data
transmission and a network deployment with a single central processing unit (CPU). While it …

In fifth-generation and beyond (5GB) wireless communication systems, Cloud Radio Access
Network (C-RAN) is recognized as a vital technology. In this endeavor, User-Centric C-RAN …
