Network Dimensioning, QoE Maximization, and Power Control for Multi-Tier Machine-Type Communications.

For a radio resource-limited multi-tier machine-type communication (MTC) network, controlling random access congestion while satisfying the unique requirements of each tier (type) and guaranteeing fairness among nodes is always a challenge. In this paper, we study the network dimensioning and radio resource partitioning for the uplink of an MTC network with the signal-to-interference ratio-based c...
