Channel bonding (CB) is a proven technique to increase bandwidth and reduce delays in
wireless networks. It has been applied in traditional wireless networks such as cellular …

In order to mitigate the shortage of wireless spectrum, the appealing concepts of cooperative
communication techniques and cognitive radio (CR) networks have been combined for the …

This work presents an estimation of the global electricity usage that can be ascribed to
Communication Technology (CT) between 2010 and 2030. The scope is three scenarios for …

Both cognitive radio and femtocell have been considered as promising techniques in
wireless networks. However, most of previous works are focused on spectrum sharing and …

The use of cognitive-radio (CR)-enabled femtocell is regarded as a promising technique in
wireless communications, and many studies have been reported on its resource allocation …

Cognitive functions in wireless network nodes are beneficial for leveraging intricate trade-
offs among energy efficiency, performance and practicality. There are two fundamental but …

We investigate opportunistic cooperation between secondary (femtocell) users and primary
(macrocell) users in cognitive femtocell networks. We consider two models for such …

Network coding (NC) is a technique used for effective and secure communication by
improving the network capacity, throughput, efficiency, and robustness. In NC, data packets …

The concept of femtocell access points underlaying existing communication infrastructure
has recently emerged as a key technology that can significantly improve the coverage and …

Cognitive radio provides a basis for addressing the practical issue of spectrum scarcity. This
issue has been raised due to the continuing advances in wireless technology, which has led …
