An exponential growth in data demand on wireless networks and wireless link capacity
approaching its theoretical limits, bound us to find new solutions and innovative network …

Interference management is one of the most important issues in heterogeneous cellular
networks with multiple macro and pico cells. The enhanced inter cell interference …

To obtain good network performance in Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A)
heterogeneous networks (HetNets), enhanced inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC) …

Scalable video coding (SVC) is attractive technology for multicasting video to users with
different available transmission capacities. In this paper, we investigate the joint optimization …

Traditional single-tiered wireless communications networks cannot scale to satisfy
exponentially rising demand. Operators are increasing capacity by densifying their existing …

We present a novel approach for distributed load balancing in heterogeneous networks that
use cell range expansion (CRE) for user association and almost blank subframe (ABS) for …

Abstract Co-ordination of Inter-Cell Interference through scheduling enables
telecommunication companies to better exploit their Heterogeneous Networks. However, it …

Self-organizing network (SON) technology aims at autonomously deploying, optimizing and
repairing radio access networks (RANs). SON algorithms typically use key performance …

We propose a resource allocation method for the downlink of an orthogonal-frequency-
division-multiple-access (OFDMA)-based macrocell/femtocell overlaid heterogeneous …

The scale at which the human race consumes data has increased exponentially in recent
years. One key part in this increase has been the usage of smart phones and connected …
