5G Fixed Wireless Access for Bridging the Rural Digital Divide
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-22)Despite the ubiquitous level of mobile and fixed broadband (FB) connectivity that exists for many people today, the availability of high quality FB services in rural communities is generally much lower than in urban ... -
A Comparative Study of Resource Allocation Schemes in Heterogeneous Cellular Networks on the Downlink
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-29)Network densification through heterogeneous networks (HetNets) is considered as a promising paradigm to address the ever increasing mobile users’ data demands in 5G networks. A HetNet consists of macro cells (each with a ... -
An Implementation of 5G-AKA and a Usability Analysis of OpenLDAP Access Control Lists (ACLs)
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-27)We address two pieces of work: (i) an implementation of the Authentication and Key Agreement protocol suite from the 5th generation cellular communications standards (5G-AKA) that we intend to make available as open-source, ... -
Operating multi-user transmission for 5G and beyond cellular systems
(University of Waterloo, 2023-02-16)Every decade, a new generation of cellular networks is released to keep up with the ever-growing demand for data and use cases. Traditionally, cellular networks rely on partitioning radio resources into a set of physical ... -
Parameterizing Enterprise WiFi Networks: The Use of Wide Channels
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-23)We investigate the joint channel, power, and carrier sensing threshold allocation problem in IEEE 802.11ac enterprise networks in a single 160 MHz band and show that the current practice, which is to use narrower channels ... -
Resource Management in Next Generation Cellular Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2019-07-03)Fifth generation of cellular networks brings new challenges to the network operators as new applications create new demands. In this thesis, we will study different topics on cellular networks, explain the challenges of ... -
Smart Charging of Plug-in Electric Vehicles in Distribution Systems Considering Uncertainties
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-05)Distribution feeders and equipment are designed to serve peak loads, and in the absence of Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PEV) loads, day-ahead dispatch of feeders is typically performed by optimizing feeder controls for ... -
Smart Planning and Operation in Cellular Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-14)Cellular networks are less and less regular as operators add base stations (BSs) to increase coverage and performance. Given these facts, we explore the network planning and operation stages of the downlink of a multi-cell ... -
Smart Roaming: How Operator Cooperation Can Increase Spectrum Usage Efficiency At practically No Cost
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-26)We propose Smart Roaming (SR), a cooperation technique between cellular telcos operating in the same region, that enables users to roam for performance reasons (instead of lack of coverage from their operator). Within a ... -
State Estimation in Power Distribution Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2017-12-19)State estimation in power distribution systems is a key component for increased reliability and optimal system performance. Well understood in transmission systems, state estimation is now an area of active research in ... -
WRR based Two-Level Slice Scheduler for 5G RAN Sharing in the context of Neutral Host
(University of Waterloo, 2022-02-11)We investigate the sub-channel sharing problem in the context of Neutral Host Radio Access Network (RAN) slicing. We consider a single user Multiple Input Multiple Output system where each Virtual Network Operator (VNO) ...
