He is a senior member of the IEEE.
Abstract
Existing cellular architectures are designed to cater to large coverage areas, which do not achieve the expected throughput to ensure seamless mobile broadband in the uplink as users move far from the base station. This is due to the increase in the inter-cell interference, as well as constraints on the transmit power of the mobile devices. Another limitation of the conventional macrocell approach is the poor indoor penetration and the presence of dead-spots, which results in drastically reduced indoor coverage. Heterogeneous networks, in which a large number of low-power nodes known as small cells overlay traditional macrocell networks, have been heralded as the most promising way to increasing cellular network capacity and meet future customer needs. In this talk, we will present our recent research results related to heterogeneous networks in the area of spectrum allocation, traffic adaptation through dynamic time duplex division, and energy efficiency.
