In current cellular networks base stations (BSs) usually perform independent scheduling without coordinating the resource allocation among different cells. This, however, often lea...
—Cellular networks operating with a frequency reuse factor of one are often interference-limited. For that reason, base station (BS) cooperation techniques aiming at mitigating t...
—The interference situation in the uplink of cellular networks, such as the 3GPP UTRAN Long Term Evolution (LTE), is usually highly volatile since from one transmission time inte...
— Multihop cellular networks offer increased coverage and capacity compared to singlehop cells of the same size. This is not as huge as using more base stations (BS) instead of w...
Abstract - In this paper we present a design of a medium access control protocol that allows the utilization of unused licensed spectrum of deployed wireless cellular systems (Prim...
