Enhanced Matching Game for Decoupled Uplink Downlink Context-Aware Handover

Backhaul-Aware Decoupled Uplink and Downlink User Association, Subcarrier Allocation, and Power Control in FiWi HetNets

Decoupling the uplink and downlink user association improves the throughput of heterogeneous networks (HetNets) and balances the traffic load of macro- and small- base stations. Recently, fiber-wireless HetNets (FiWi-HetNets) have been considered as viable solutions for access networks. To improve the accuracy of user association and resource allocation algorithms in FiWi-HetNets, the capacity ...

Load & backhaul aware decoupled downlink/uplink access in 5G systems

Until the 4 Generation (4G) cellular 3GPP systems, a user equipment’s (UE) cell association has been based on the downlink received power from the strongest base station. Recent work has shown that – with an increasing degree of heterogeneity in emerging 5G systems – such an approach is dramatically suboptimal, advocating for an independent association of the downlink and uplink where the downl...

Decoupled Uplink and Downlink Access in Heterogeneous Networks

Data centric UEs are currently not only demanding more capacity from wireless networks, but also service oriented Quality of Service (QoS) and comparable Quality of Experience (QoE) in both Downlink (DL) and Uplink (UL). With the introduction of internet of things, machine to machine communications, cloud services and the widely-used social media, UEs and devices in general are increasingly mor...

Channel Aware Scheduling Algorithm for LTE Uplink and Downlink

In the past two decades, there has been a drastic increase in the mobile traffic, which is caused by the improved user experience with smart phones and its applications. In LTE system, the packet scheduler plays a vital role in the effective utilization of the resources. This field is not standardized and has immense scope of improvement, allowing vendor-specific implementation. LTE scheduling ...
