Downlink Dual Connectivity Approach in mmWave-Aided HetNets With Minimum Rate Requirements.

The integration of millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication with conventional microwave transmission in the heterogeneous networks (HetNets) has recently emerged as an attractive solution to meet the exponentially increasing demand on mobile data traffic. Moreover, this integration combined with dual-connectivity (DC) technology is expected to further guarantee reliable transmission of as many users...
