Next-generation wireless networks are expected to be highly heterogeneous, multilayered,
with embedded intelligence at both the core and edge of the network. In such a context …

In wireless heterogeneous networks (HetNets), the spatial densification through small cells
and the application of massive MIMO antenna arrays are key enablers for high data …

Unmanned aerial vehicle mounted base stations (UAV-BSs) can provide wireless services
in a variety of scenarios. In this letter, we propose an optimal placement algorithm for UAV …

Using drone base stations (drone-BSs) in wireless networks has started attracting attention.
Drone-BSs can assist the ground BSs in both capacity and coverage enhancement. One of …

Abstract Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) is a recently developed meta-heuristic search algorithm
inspired by grey wolves (Canis lupus), which simulate the social stratum and hunting …

In this paper, we leverage concepts from stochastic geometry to investigate the downlink
performance of a vertical heterogeneous network (VHetNet) comprising aerial base stations …

In this paper, we propose a drone assisted radio access networks architecture in which
drone-cells are leveraged to relay data between base stations and users. Based on the state …

Metaverse can provide powerful human-centric interactive experiences for users and
metaverse application content is the fundamental component that supports the metaverse …

Time-varying requirements of users on communication push mobile operators to increase
density of base stations. However, the dense deployment of conventional static base …

In this paper, we study the cell planning problem for a two-tier cellular network containing
two types of base stations (BSs), ie, with fiber backhaul, referred to as wired BSs (W-BSs) …
