Multi-connectivity in mobile networks: challenges and benefits
(2021-12-30)
Article
Open AccessSatisfying the stringent 5G quality of service requirements necessitates efficient resource utilization by mobile networks. Consequently, we argue that multi-connectivity (MC) is an effective solution to leverage the limited ... -
User association and resource allocation in 5G (AURA-5G): a joint optimization framework
(2021-06-19)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policy5G wireless networks will be extremely dense, given the projected increase in the number of users and access points (APs), as well as heterogeneous, given the different types of APs and the applications being accessed by ... -
Capacity and congestion aware flow control mechanism for efficient traffic aggregation in multi-radio dual connectivity
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021-08-16)
Article
Open AccessMulti-Radio Dual Connectivity (MR-DC) is a key 3GPP technology that enables traffic aggregation between two base stations (BSs), and thus, increasing the per-user data rate. However, the schemes for traffic aggregation ... -
Preventing RLC buffer sojourn delays in 5G
