Analytical Approach for Optimal Deployment of Drone Base Stations in Cellular Networks

Reliable mobile communications is of critical importance, and should be maintained even in case of extremely crowded events or emergency scenarios. In such scenarios the deployment of drone-mounted base stations offers an agile and cost-efficient way to sustain coverage and/or provide capacity relief. In this paper we develop an analytical...

Massive Uncoordinated Multiple Access for Beyond 5G

Existing wireless communication systems have been mainly designed to provide substantial gain in terms of data rates. However, 5G and Beyond will depart from this scheme, with the objective not only to provide services with higher data rates. One of the main goals is to support massive machine-type communications (mMTC) in the Internet-of-Things...
