Backhaul-Aware Interference Management in the Uplink of Wireless Small Cell Networks
Sumudu Samarakoon, Mehdi Bennis, Walid Saad +1
The design of distributed mechanisms for interference management is one of the key challenges in emerging wireless small cell networks whose backhaul is capacity limited and hetero…
Matching with Externalities for Context-Aware User-Cell Association in Small Cell Networks
Francesco Pantisano, Mehdi Bennis, Walid Saad +2
In this paper, we propose a novel user-cell association approach for wireless small cell networks that exploits previously unexplored context information extracted from users' devi…
When Cellular Meets WiFi in Wireless Small Cell Networks
Mehdi Bennis, Meryem Simsek, Walid Saad +3
The deployment of small cell base stations(SCBSs) overlaid on existing macro-cellular systems is seen as a key solution for offloading traffic, optimizing coverage, and boosting th…
On the Fly Self-Organized Base Station Placement
Hirley Alves, Mehdi Bennis, Walid Saad +2
In this paper, we address the deployment of base stations (BSs) in a one-dimensional network in which the users are randomly distributed.In order to take into account the users' di…
Statistical Analysis of Self-Organizing Networks with Biased Cell Association and Interference Avoidance
Carlos H. M. de Lima, Mehdi Bennis, Matti Latva-aho
In this work, we assess the viability of heterogeneous networks composed of legacy macrocells which are underlaid with self-organizing picocells. Aiming to improve coverage, cell-e…
