Relay Nodes (RNs) introduction is one of the main features of LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) with the aim of enhancing network coverage and capacity at cell-edge. However, a proper admission control scheme is required to increase the total number of admitted users in the system.

Year: 2013 | Conference Paper |
Recently, LTE-Advanced is a mobile communication standard and high wireless bandwidth technology, formally submitted as a candidate 4G solution in the world. The major difference between 3GPP Release 10 (Rel-10) LTE-Advanced and the original LTE (Rel-8) is a new entity called relay node (RN) introduced in Rel-10. Since both backhaul link and access link of relay node are radio interface, the RN mi...Show More
Multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) systems along with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technique plays a crucial role in 4G based wireless networks. The inclusion of MIMO technology enables new types of links such as downlink multi-user communication. Long term evolution (LTE) systems are based on multi-user MIMO technologies, which have flexible bandwidths. In this paper, we derived...Show More
Carrier Aggregation (CA) is one of the promising features to support the much wider bandwidth for packet transmissions in Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) systems. To the best of our knowledge, works regarding the packet scheduling algorithm in LTE-A systems with the CA mechanism have not thoroughly been investigated yet till now. In this paper, we therefore aim to design an efficient packet s...Show More
The use of small cell deployments in heterogeneous networks (HetNet) environments is considered a promising strategy to cope with the explosion in mobile traffic. In the deployments, there is a concern that the large number of small cells causes the signalling load on the network nodes to increase due to frequent handovers (HOs) and mobility robustness to be degraded due to increased handover fail...Show More
One of the promising technologies which is being regarded in the future 5G standard long Term Evolution (LTE) Release 13 is Machine-to-Machine or M2M communications. It represents a key component of Internet of Things (IoT) and smart spaces. One of the most difficult challenges to support M2M communications is their huge number compared to available radio resources. Hence, to deal with random acce...Show More
Cell Range Expansion (CRE) combined with Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) in Heterogeneous Networks (HetNet) is a promising technique to enhance the utilization of the resource in pico cells. CRE increases the number of the UE sets connected to pico cells (pico UEs) by changing the trigger timing of the handover (HO). However, inappropriate trigger timing of HO increases HO failures and...Show More
In LTE-A cellular networks there is a fundamental trade-off between the cell throughput and fairness levels for preselected users which are sharing the same amount of resources at one transmission time interval (TTI). The static parameterization of the Generalized Proportional Fair (GPF) scheduling rule is not able to maintain a satisfactory level of fairness at each TTI when a very dynamic radio ...Show More
In addition to providing high data rate, Device-to-Device (D2D) communication reduces the transmit power of users and improve spatial spectrum reuse significantly. In this paper, we formulate the joint power control and mode selection problem for D2D communications underlaying LTE-A network for minimizing the aggregate transmit power of users subject to a minimum target throughput for each cellula...Show More
Each UE can aggregate multiple component carriers (CCs) as a wider band to support the demand of higher data rates in LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems with carrier aggregation (CA). An appropriate CC selection is necessary in order to improve the utility of CA, since not all CCs benefit from CA due to bad channel quality of some CCs. Most of existing methods only take one aspect of problems into accou...Show More
Resource allocation mechanisms are important in assigning all available resources in the network. Scheduling is one of the resource allocation mechanism which will determine the performance of the network.

Carrier Aggregation (CA) is one of the promising features in Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) systems. Till now, works regarding the packet scheduling scheme with CA in different frequency bands have not completely been studied and evaluated yet. Thus, the purpose of this work aims to explore such issue and presents an efficient quantized water-filling packet scheduling algorithm for high-data...Show More
The importance of small cells deployments in cellular systems are becoming more apparent days after days since the benefits in terms of number of users that can be supported, the offered bandwidth and power consumption are obviously enormous as the wireless networks continue to get more congested. In this paper, a number of well-known scheduling schemes namely, Round Robin (RR), Proportional Fairn...Show More

Since LTE-Advanced systems are expected to be deployed in a two-tier cell architecture, where femtocells will be deployed ...Show More
Energy consumption in current cellular communication systems becomes more and more critical with the demand for higher throughput and explosive growth of terminal equipment. However, the consumption is evitable in low traffic load time or area, e.g. in late-night. In order to reduce system energy consumption, power off low load base stations is an easy and effective way to reduce energy consumptio...Show More

The adoption of UE-assisted, network controlled and hard Handover (HO) procedure in LTE-A HetNet impose several challenges. It results in tremendous increase in HO failure, frequent and unnecessary HO when compared to Homogeneous Network. To overcome these challenges, the HO procedure need to be triggered in time by proper configuration of HO control parameters in consideration with the Environmen...Show More
LTE-Advanced systems support multi-carrier with non-contiguous, asymmetric and cross band-class operations to ensure full flexibility of the spectral deployment. The component carriers employed in Spectrum Aggregation need not to be adjacent and symmetric. However they could be in different frequency bands. The eNodeB or UE in the LTE-Advanced systems that adopts Spectrum Aggregation simultaneousl...Show More
