The expansion of wireless broadband access network deployments is resulting in increased
scarcity of available radio spectrum. It is very likely that in the near future, cellular …

The use of the unlicensed spectrum by LTE networks (LTE-U or LAA-LTE) is being
considered by mobile operators in order to satisfy increasing traffic demands and to make …

Deployment of LTE in unlicensed bands is being considered in Rel-13 of LTE. This feature is
called Licensed-Assisted Access (LAA) using LTE. Unlicensed band is attractive due to the …

Driven by the demand for more radio spectrum resources, mobile operators are looking to
exploit the unlicensed spectrum as a complement to the licensed spectrum. LTE-unlicensed …

This paper presents the system performance analysis of 3GPP Long-Term Evolution (LTE)
and IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) in a situation where LTE downlink …

The Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has recently started standardizing the
“licensed-assisted access using LTE” for small cells, which is referred to as dual-band …

Mobile broadband data usage in Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks is growing
exponentially and capacity constraint is becoming an issue. Heterogeneous network, WiFi …

Ensuring fair co-existence between unlicensed LTE and WiFi networks is currently of major
concern to both cellular operators and WiFi providers. Two main unlicensed LTE …

We study the fair coexistence of scheduled and random access transmitters sharing the
same frequency channel. Interest in coexistence is topical due to the need for emerging …

It is forecasted that mobile data traffic will increase 1000-fold from 2010 to 2020. As a result,
the network must evolve to meet the large and rapidly growing data demand. An effective …
