In this paper, we propose a distributed load balancing algorithm with adaptive bias adjustment for LTE/LTE-A HetNets. We have formulated the problem as a local sum utility maximization. The distributed algorithm is capable of fairly distributing the load among base stations with a minimum level of coordination. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated with a network topology subject to the conditions...
Communications play an important role during public safety operations. Since the current communication technologies heavily rely on the backbone network, the failure of base stations (BSs) due to natural disasters or malevolent attacks causes communication difficulties for public safety and emergency communications. Recently, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) such as quadcopters and unmanned...
In this paper, we study and optimize the energy efficiency performance of heterogeneous network (HetNet) with the help of self-organized network (SON). Firstly, we propose a new and general power model for different types of base stations (BSs), where the impact of system load (including power load and bandwidth load), antenna port, carrier number, as well as the power supply and cooling system, is...
A nationwide interoperable public safety wireless broadband network is being planned by the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) under the auspices of the United States government. The public safety network shall provide the needed wireless coverage in the wake of an incident or a disaster. This paper proposes a drone-assisted multi-hop device-to-device (D2D) communication scheme as a means...
3D cell structure, where small cells are threedimensionally deployed on macro cells, is considered as one of the effective cell structures to accommodate data traffic growing rapidly in recent years. In this cell structure, inter-cell interference among small cells is one of the major issues. As a technique for mitigating inter-cell interference among small cells, we propose a network coordinated...
One of the goals of 5G is to simplify the 4G core network and enable interworking across multiple Radio Access Technologies (RATs) without the addition of specialized network elements, protocols and interfaces that perform often redundant functions for each access technology. Achieving this reduces operator costs, and can improve the subscriber experience when devices can access multiple RATs. In...
