5G Converged Cell-less Communications in Smart Cities
Tao Han, Xiaohu Ge, Lijun Wang +3
Ubiquitous information service converged by different types of heterogeneous networks is one of fundamental functions for smart cities. Considering the deployment of 5G ultra-dense…
Energy Saving of Base Stations Sleep Scheduling for Multi-Hop Vehicular Networks
Tao Han, Xiong Liu, Lijun Wang +3
This paper investigates the energy saving of base station (BS) deployed in a 1-D multi-hop vehicular network with sleep scheduling strategy. We consider cooperative BS scheduling s…
On Energy Efficiency of the Nearest-Neighbor Cooperative Communication in Heterogeneous Networks
Tao Han, Yu Feng, Jiang Wang +3
In this paper, we consider a two-dimensional heterogeneous cellular network scenario consisting of one base station (BS) and some mobile stations (MSs) whose locations follow a Poi…
Mobile Converged Networks: Framework, Optimization and Challenges
Tao Han, Yang Yang, Xiaohu Ge +1
In this paper, a new framework of mobile converged networks is proposed for flexible resource optimization over multi-tier wireless heterogeneous networks. Design principles and ad…
Small Cell Offloading Through Cooperative Communication in Software-Defined Heterogeneous Networks
Tao Han, Yujie Han, Xiaohu Ge +4
To meet the ever-growing demand for a higher communicating rate and better communication quality, more and more small cells are overlaid under the macro base station (MBS) tier, th…
Coverage Analysis of Heterogeneous Cellular Networks in Urban Areas
Bin Yang, Guoqiang Mao, Xiaohu Ge +3
In this article, a network model incorporating both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) transmissions is proposed to investigate impacts of blockages in urban areas on…
