Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a recently standardized technology to support machine-type communications (MTC) in Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) Pro networks. NB-IoT can enable energy-efficient communication with extended coverage on a narrow bandwidth of 180 kHz for low-cost MTC devices (MTCDs). The main challenge of supporting MTC in LTE-A Pro networks is to provide connectivity...
Resource allocation, or scheduling, is one of the main challenges that face supporting machine-to-machine (M2M) communications on long term evolution networks. M2M traffic has unique characteristics. It generally consists of a large number of small data packets, with specific deadlines, generated by a potentially massive number of devices contending over the scarce radio resources. In this paper,...
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) scheduling over Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks is an essential research area for future communications. This is due to the strong expectations that M2M communications will be a main element of the overall traffic over 5G networks. The diversity of M2M applications strongly motivates studying the problem of resource allocation in the uplink direction where the M2M traffic...
Introducing low-power Small Cells (SCs) in Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) deployment can help in satisfying the increasing demands of mobile data rates. On/Off switching of SCs is one of the techniques introduced in LTE-Advanced to improve user throughput in HetNets via reducing interference. In this paper, we propose a novel traffic-aware user association technique which increases the throughput...
