Capacity Analysis of Decoupled Downlink and Uplink Access in 5G Heterogeneous Systems
Katerina Smiljkovikj, Hisham Elshaer, Petar Popovski +4
Our traditional notion of a cell is changing dramatically given the increasing degree of heterogeneity in 4G and emerging 5G systems. Rather than belonging to a specific cell, a de…
Load & Backhaul Aware Decoupled Downlink/Uplink Access in 5G Systems
Hisham Elshaer, Federico Boccardi, Mischa Dohler +1
Until the 4th 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…
Downlink and Uplink Decoupling: a Disruptive Architectural Design for 5G Networks
Hisham Elshaer, Federico Boccardi, Mischa Dohler +1
Cell association in cellular networks has traditionally been based on the downlink received signal power only, despite the fact that up and downlink transmission powers and interfe…
