Maintaining multiple wireless connections is a promising solution to boost capacity in fifth-generation (5G) networks, where user equipment is able to consume radio resources of several serving cells simultaneously and potentially aggregate bandwidth across all of them. The emerging dual connectivity paradigm can be regarded as an attractive access mechanism in dense heterogeneous 5G networks, where bandwidth sharing and cooperative techniques are evolving to meet the increased capacity requirements. Dual connectivity in the uplink remained highly controversial, since the user device has a limited power budget to share between two different access points, especially when located close to the cell edge. On the other hand, in an attempt to enhance the uplink communications performance, the concept of uplink and downlink decoupling has recently been introduced. Leveraging these latest developments, our work significantly advances prior art by proposing and investigating the concept of flexible cell association in dual connectivity scenarios, where users are able to aggregate resources from more than one serving cell. In this setup, the preferred association policies for the uplink may differ from those for the downlink, thereby allowing for a truly decoupled access. With the use of stochastic geometry, the dual connectivity association regions for decoupled access are derived and the resultant performance is evaluated in terms of capacity gains over the conventional downlink received power access policies.

The newly introduced ultra-reliable low latency communication service class in 5G New Radio depends on innovative low latency radio resource management solutions that can guarantee high reliability. Grant-free random access, where channel resources a
re accessed without undergoing assignment through a handshake process, is proposed in 5G New Radio as an important latency reducing solution. However, this comes at an increased likelihood of collisions resulting from uncontrolled channel access, when the same resources are preallocated to a group of users. Novel reliability enhancement techniques are therefore needed. This article provides an overview of grant-free random access in 5G New Radio focusing on the ultra-reliable low latency communication service class, and presents two reliability-enhancing solutions. The first proposes retransmissions over shared resources, whereas the second proposal incorporates grant-free transmission with non-orthogonal multiple access with overlapping transmissions being resolved through the use of advanced receivers. Both proposed solutions result in significant performance gains, in terms of reliability as well as resource efficiency. For example, the proposed non-orthogonal multiple access scheme can support a normalized load of more than 1.5 users/slot at packet loss rates of ~10^{-5} - a significant improvement over the maximum supported load with conventional grant-free schemes like slotted-ALOHA.
Achieving end-to-end ultra-reliability and resiliency in mission critical communications is a major challenge for future wireless networks. Dual connectivity has been proposed by 3GPP as one of the viable solutions to fulfill the reliability requirem
ents. However, the potential correlation in failures occurring over different wireless links is commonly neglected in current network design approaches. In this paper, we investigate the impact of realistic correlation among different wireless links on end-to-end reliability for two selected architectures from 3GPP. In ultra-reliable use-cases, we show that even small values of correlation can increase the end-to-end error rate by orders of magnitude. This may suggest alternative feasible architecture designs and paves the way towards serving ultra-reliable communications in 5G networks.
Different from public 4G/5G networks that are dominated by downlink traffic, emerging 5G non-public networks (NPNs) need to support significant uplink traffic to enable emerging applications such as industrial Internet of things (IIoT). The uplink-an
d-downlink spectrum sharing is becoming a viable solution to enhance the uplink throughput of NPNs, which allows the NPNs to perform the uplink transmission over the time-frequency resources configured for downlink transmission in coexisting public networks. To deal with the severe interference from the downlink public base station (BS) transmitter to the coexisting uplink non-public BS receiver, we propose an adaptive asymmetric successive interference cancellation (SIC) approach, in which the non-public BS receiver is enabled to have the capability of decoding the downlink signals transmitted from the public BS and successively cancelling them for interference mitigation. In particular, this paper studies a basic uplink-and-downlink spectrum sharing scenario when an uplink non-public BS and a downlink public BS coexist in the same area, each communicating with multiple users via orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA). Under this setup, we aim to maximize the common uplink throughput of all non-public users, under the condition that the downlink throughput of each public user is above a certain threshold. The decision variables include the subcarrier allocation and user scheduling for both non-public (uplink) and public (downlink) BSs, the decoding mode of the non-public BS over each subcarrier (i.e., with or without SIC), as well as the rate and power control over subcarriers. Numerical results show that the proposed adaptive asymmetric SIC design significantly improves the common uplink throughput as compared to benchmark schemes without such design.
The evolution of conventional wireless communication networks to the fifth generation (5G) is driven by an explosive increase in the number of wireless mobile devices and services, as well as their demand for all-time and everywhere connectivity, hig
h data rates, low latency, high energy-efficiency and improved quality of service. To address these challenges, 5G relies on key technologies, such as full duplex (FD), device-to-device (D2D) communications, and network densification. In this article, a heterogeneous networking architecture is envisioned, where cells of different sizes and radio access technologies coexist. Specifically, collaboration for spectrum access is explored for both FD- and cognitive-based approaches, and cooperation among devices is discussed in the context of the state-of-the-art D2D assisted communication paradigm. The presented cooperative framework is expected to advance the understandings of the critical technical issues towards dynamic spectrum management for 5G heterogeneous networks.
In this paper, the problem of opportunistic spectrum sharing for the next generation of wireless systems empowered by the cloud radio access network (C-RAN) is studied. More precisely, low-priority users employ cooperative spectrum sensing to detect
a vacant portion of the spectrum that is not currently used by high-priority users. The design of the scheme is to maximize the overall throughput of the low-priority users while guaranteeing the quality of service of the high-priority users. This objective is attained by optimally adjusting spectrum sensing time with respect to imposed target probabilities of detection and false alarm as well as dynamically allocating and assigning C-RAN resources, i.e., transmit powers, sub-carriers, remote radio heads (RRHs), and base-band units. The presented optimization problem is non-convex and NP-hard that is extremely hard to tackle directly. To solve the problem, a low-complex iterative approach is proposed in which sensing time, user association parameters and transmit powers of RRHs are alternatively assigned and optimized at every step. Numerical results are then provided to demonstrate the necessity of performing sensing time adjustment in such systems as well as balancing the sensing-throughput tradeoff.
