Timely throughput of heterogeneous cellular networks

2015 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), 2015
Network densification via deploying dense small cells is one of the dominant evolutions towards future cellular network to increase spectrum efficiency. Packet transmission delay and reliability in the resultant interference-limited heterogeneous cellular network (HCN) are essential performance metrics for system design.

Carrier aggregation in heterogeneous cellular networks

2013 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), 2013
Heterogeneous networks (HetNets) and carrier aggregation (CA) are two distinct features of next-generation cellular networks. Small cells in HetNets are vital for data off-loading and can significantly improve area and cell edge spectral efficiency compared to using just macrocells.

CHetNet: crowdsourcing to heterogeneous cellular networks

IEEE Network, 2015
Heterogeneous networking (HetNet) is a promising solution to meet the ever increasing demands of wireless applications. However, it is a significant challenge for mobile network operators to deploy HetNet at a large scale. To address this issue, this article discusses a new paradigm in which potential partners are encouraged to participate in ...

Delay analysis of heterogeneous cellular networks

2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC), 2015
Due to a wider range of services in future heterogeneous cellular network (HCN), packet transmission delay becomes a more essential performance metric for system design. In this paper, we propose an analytical framework to derive the delay performance of HCN in terms of local delay, by modeling the locations of base stations (BSs) in HCN as ...

Cloud cooperated heterogeneous cellular networks

2013 International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing and Communication Systems, 2013
This paper introduces a concept of cloud cooperated heterogeneous cellular network (C-HetNet) where small power pico base stations (BSs) overlaid on a macrocell are connected to cloud radio access network (C-RAN) to operate cooperatively with the macro BS.

Spatiotemporal Cooperation in Heterogeneous Cellular Networks

IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, 2015
This paper studies downlink communication in a heterogeneous cellular network where a set of geographically separated base stations (BSs) cooperates in transmitting data to a common receiver. If a decoding error occurs, data is cooperatively retransmitted by a possibly different set of BSs, such that the receiver can benefit from spatiotemporal BS ...

Heterogeneous Cellular Network Models With Dependence

IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, 2015
Due to its tractability, a multitier model of mutually independent Poisson point processes (PPPs) for heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs) has recently been attracting much attention. However, in reality, the locations of the BSs, within each tier and across tiers, are not fully independent. Accordingly, in this paper, we propose two HCN models with

Cooperative retransmission in heterogeneous cellular networks

2014 IEEE Global Communications Conference, 2014
This paper studies spatiotemporal cooperation between base stations in the presence of interference in a heterogeneous cellular network. The focus of the paper is the cooperative retransmission scenario, where a set of randomly located base stations that are selected based on their average received powers, possibly belonging to different network tiers,

Load Distribution in Heterogeneous Cellular Networks

IEEE Communications Letters, 2014
This letter provides the distributions on the association region of a small-cell BS (sBS) and that of a macro-cell BS (mBS) in a two-tier heterogeneous cellular network (HCN) as functions of the power and density ratios between tiers. Computer simulation results confirm that the proposed distributions are quite accurate for a wide range of network ...

Analysis of Coverage in Heterogeneous Cellular Networks

IEEE Communications Letters, 2016
In this letter, we study the coverage of base stations (BSs) in heterogeneous cellular networks, where BSs with different transmit powers are randomly deployed. Specifically, the boundary of coverage is formulated analytically as the intersection of circles when a multiplicative bias is applied for BS association.
