Network capacity optimisation in millimetre wave band using fractional frequency reuse (2017)
Journal Article

Inter Cell Interference (ICI) is a major challenge that degrades the performance of mobile systems, particularly
for cell-edge users. This problem arises significantly in the next generation system, as the trend of deployment is with high densificat... Read More about Network capacity optimisation in millimetre wave band using fractional frequency reuse.

Supporting massive M2M traffic in the Internet of Things using millimetre wave 5G network (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Al-Falahy, N., & Alani, O. (2017, September). Supporting massive M2M traffic in the Internet of Things using millimetre wave 5G network. Presented at 9th Computer Science & Electronic Engineering Conference (CEEC), University of Essex, UK

One of the challenges of Fifth Generation (5G) networks is how to support massive number of wireless devices in
the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT will interconnect billions of
devices under machine-to-machine communication links (M2M). However, thi... Read More about Supporting massive M2M traffic in the Internet of Things using millimetre wave 5G network.

Identification as a deterrent for security enhancement in cognitive radio networks (2017)
Journal Article

The impact of base station antennas configuration on the performance of millimetre wave 5G networks (2017)
Presentation / Conference
on the performance of millimetre wave 5G networks. Presented at The Ninth International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN 2017), Milan

In this paper, two scenarios have been considered
for millimetre wave base station configuration. In the first
scenario, the approach of Distributed Base Station (DBS) with remote radio units (RRU) is chosen as the envisioned architecture for futur... Read More about The impact of base station antennas configuration on the performance of millimetre wave 5G networks.

Comprehensive survey on quality of service provisioning approaches in cognitive radio networks : part one (2017)
