    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    5G 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 

    Pupiales Yépez, Carlos; Laselva, Daniela; Demirkol, Ilker Seyfettin (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021-08-16)
    Article
    Open Access
    Multi-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
