Heterogeneous Drone Small Cells: Optimal 3D Placement for Downlink Power Efficiency and Rate Satisfaction
Nima Namvar, Fatemeh Afghah, Ismail Guvenc
In this paper, we consider a heterogeneous repository of drone-enabled aerial base stations with varying transmit powers that provide downlink wireless coverage for ground users. O…
Device-to-Device Communications in Millimeter Wave Band: Impact of Beam Alignment Error
Niloofar Bahadori, Nima Namvar, Brian Kelley +1
Exploiting the millimeter wave (mmWave) band has recently attracted considerable attention as a potential solution to widespread deployment of device-to-device (D2D) communication…
Device-to-Device Communications in the Millimeter Wave Band: A Novel Distributed Mechanism
Niloofar Bahadori, Nima Namvar, Brian Kelley +1
In spite of its potential advantages, the large-scale implementation of the device-to-device (D2D) communications has yet to be realized, mainly due to severe interference and lack…
Jamming in the Internet of Things: A Game-Theoretic Perspective
Nima Namvar, Walid Saad, Niloofar Bahadori +1
Due to its scale and largely interconnected nature, the Internet of Things (IoT) will be vulnerable to a number of security threats that range from physical layer attacks to networ…
A context-aware matching game for user association in wireless small cell networks
Nima Namvar, Walid Saad, Behrouz Maham +1
Small cell networks are seen as a promising technology for boosting the performance of future wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a novel context-aware user-cell associati…
Spectrum Sharing in Cooperative Cognitive Radio Networks: A Matching Game Framework
Nima Namvar, Fatemeh Afghah
Dynamic spectrum access allows the unlicensed wireless users (secondary users) to dynamically access the licensed bands from legacy spectrum holders (primary users) either on an op…
Context-Aware D2D Peer Selection for Load Distribution in LTE Networks
Nima Namvar, Niloofar Bahadori, Fatemeh Afghah
In this paper we propose a novel context-aware approach for resource allocation in device to device (D2D) communication networks which exploits context information about the users…
Cell Selection in Wireless Two-Tier Networks: A Context-Aware Matching Game
Nima Namvar, Walid Saad, Behrouz Maham
The deployment of small cell networks is seen as a major feature of the next generation of wireless networks. In this paper, a novel approach for cell association in small cell net…
