Mobile data traffic is currently growing exponentially and these rapid increases have caused
the backhaul data rate requirements to become the major bottleneck to reducing costs and …

This article explores network densification as the key mechanism for wireless evolution over
the next decade. Network densification includes densification over space (eg, dense …

Adaptive beamforming has been attracting considerable attention from both academia and
industry for decades. It has already played an important role in modern wireless …

Cellular networks are in a major transition from a carefully planned set of large tower-
mounted base-stations (BSs) to an irregular deployment of heterogeneous infrastructure …

As wireless video is the fastest growing form of data traffic, methods for spectrally efficient on-
demand wireless video streaming are essential to both service providers and users. A key …

This paper presents an overview of the theory and currently known techniques for multi-cell
MIMO (multiple input multiple output) cooperation in wireless networks. In dense networks …

Intercell interference management has become a critical issue for future cellular mobile
systems. Coordinated multipoint transmission/reception, or CoMP, is an effective way of …

In this paper we assess how coordination among base stations can be exploited to improve
downlink capacity in fourth generation (4G) cellular networks. We focus on heterogeneous …

Multicell cooperation (MCC) is an approach for mitigating intercell interference in dense
cellular networks. Existing studies on MCC performance typically rely on either …

Coordinated multi-point (CoMP) communication is attractive for heterogeneous cellular
networks (HCNs) for interference reduction. However, previous approaches to CoMP face …
