The exponential growth and availability of data in all forms is the main booster to the
continuing evolution in the communications industry. The popularization of traffic-intensive …

In multi-UAV networks, the downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) associations between a UAV and
a user equipment (UE) is typically coupled, which restricts each UE to associate to the same …

Caching popular contents at base stations (BSs) can reduce the backhaul cost and improve
the network throughput. Yet whether locally caching at the BSs can improve the energy …

The ongoing densification of small cells yields an unprecedented paradigm shift in user
experience and network design. The most notable change comes from cellular rates being …

In mobile networks, 5G Ultra-Dense Networks (UDNs) have emerged as they effectively
increase the network capacity due to cell splitting and densification. A Base Station (BS) is a …

With the explosive increase in traffic volume in fifth-generation (5G) mobile wireless
networks, an ultra-dense network (UDN) architecture, composed of highly concentrated …

The forthcoming 5G cellular network is expected to overlay millimeter-wave (mmW)
transmissions with the incumbent micro-wave (μW) architecture. The overall mm-μW …

In this paper, we propose a general mathematical framework to compute the average
downlink rate in a multiple connectivity context considering ultra-dense network (UDN) …

It has become increasingly clear that the current design paradigm for mobile broadband
systems is not a scalable and economically feasible way to solve the expected future" …

Deploying ultra dense networks (UDNs) can boost the spectral efficiency (SE) and energy
efficiency (EE) of cellular networks, where the density of base stations (BSs) may exceed the …
