Coexistence Scheme for Uncoordinated LTE and WiFi Networks Using Experience Replay Based Q-Learning.

Nowadays, broadband applications that use the licensed spectrum of the cellular network are growing fast. For this reason, Long-Term Evolution-Unlicensed (LTE-U) technology is expected to offload its traffic to the unlicensed spectrum. However, LTE-U transmissions have to coexist with the existing WiFi networks.

Cooperation Techniques between LTE in Unlicensed Spectrum and Wi-Fi towards Fair Spectral Efficiency.

On the road towards 5G, a proliferation of Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) is expected. Sensor networks are of great importance in this new wireless era, as they allow interaction with the environment. Additionally, the establishment of the Internet of Things (IoT) has incredibly increased the number of interconnected devices and consequently the already massive wirelessly transmitted traffic.

Determination of the duty cycle of WLAN for realistic radio frequency electromagnetic field exposure assessment.

Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are commonly deployed in various environments. The WLAN data packets are not transmitted continuously but often worst-case exposure of WLAN is assessed, assuming 100% activity and leading to huge overestimations. Actual duty cycles of WLAN are thus of importance for time-averaging of exposure when checking compliance with international guidelines on limiting adverse health effects.
