“…For these fifty survey articles that were retrieved from SCO-PUS and Web of Science and were published from 2007 to 2017 we performed a categorization which is presented in table III. Based on this categorization it is obvious that except from three big categories of articles, one dealing with scheduling and interference mitigation [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [8], the other with D2D Communication [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21] and the third with security and privacy issues [22], [23], [24], [25], [8], [26], [27], all areas of research that are somehow related to 3G, 4G and 5G networks were surveyed and presented in previous surveys from at least one review article. As the technology progress and the networks evolve from 3G to 4G, 5G and even 6G [28], the number of articles that survey 4G and 5G networks increases from only one that was published back in 2007, to over twenty articles published in 2016.…”

Abstract-This paper presents a comprehensive survey of existing authentication and privacy-preserving schemes for 4G and 5G cellular networks. We start by providing an overview of existing surveys that deal with 4G and 5G communications, applications, standardization, and security. Then, we give a classification of threat models in 4G and 5G cellular networks in four categories, including, attacks against privacy, attacks against integrity, attacks against availability, and attacks against authentication. We also provide a classification of countermeasures into three types of categories, including, cryptography methods, humans factors, and intrusion detection methods. The countermeasures and informal and formal security analysis techniques used by the authentication and privacy preserving schemes are summarized in form of tables. Based on the categorization of the authentication and privacy models, we classify these schemes in seven types, including, handover authentication with privacy, mutual authentication with privacy, RFID authentication with privacy, deniable authentication with privacy, authentication with mutual anonymity, authentication and key agreement with privacy, and three-factor authentication with privacy. In addition, we provide a taxonomy and comparison of authentication and privacypreserving schemes for 4G and 5G cellular networks in form of tables. Based on the current survey, several recommendations for further research are discussed at the end of this paper.

“…We also compare the performance of our proposed centralized and decentralized resource and power allocation approaches with that of state-of-the-art resource and power allocation approaches [36] such as the frequency reuse-1 400 model, the frequency reuse-3 model, FFR, SFR, and a single cell resource and power allocation approach [12]. Note that our centralized approach searches for the optimal resource and power allocation.…”

The exponential growth in the usage of mobile networks along with the increasing number of User Equipments (UEs) are exacerbating the scarcity of frequency resources. Dense frequency reuse on the downlink of multiuser Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access networks leads to severe Inter-Cell Interference (ICI) problems. Resource and power allocation techniques are required to alleviate the harmful impact of ICI. Contrarily to the existing techniques that consider single-cell resource and power allocation problem without taking ICI into account, we formulate a centralized downlink multi-cell joint resource and power allocation problem. The objective is to maximize system throughput while guaranteeing throughput fairness between UEs. We demonstrate that the joint problem is separable into two independent problems: a resource allocation problem and a power allocation problem. Lagrange duality theory is used to solve the centralized power allocation problem. We also tackle the resource and power allocation problem differently by addressing it in a decentralized manner. We propose a non-cooperative downlink power allocation approach based on game theory. The players are the base stations, and each base station seeks to maximize its own utility function. We investigate the convergence of our proposed centralized and decentralized approaches, and we * Corresponding author Email address: mohamad.yassin@usj.edu.lb (Mohamad Yassin) February 27, 2017 compare their performance with that of state-of-the-art approaches.

“…Nevertheless, this deployment leads to significant interference in such heterogeneous networks. Femtocell-aware ICIC techniques modify resource allocation between the macro LTE/LTE-A cells and the small cells deployed within their coverage area [6]. The available spectrum is divided into a macro-dedicated portion and a Femto-sharing portion.…”

“…It is inferred from the geographical locations of the UEs. In the second step, resource allocation is performed by finding among the possible resource assignments, the one that best leverages the instantaneous channel quality [6]. Each node of the interference graph represents a base station, and each link indicates that the two connected nodes are interfering with each other.…”

The next generation wireless cellular communication networks are envisioned to deal with the expected thousand-fold increase in total mobile broadband data and the hundred-fold increase in connected devices. In order to provide higher data rates, improved end-to-end performance and coverage, low latency, and low energy consumption at low cost per transmission, 5G systems are required to overcome various handicaps of current cellular networks and wireless links. One of the key handicaps of 5G systems is the performance degradation of the communication link, due to the increased level of interference. Due to the scarcity of the available spectrum, all the cells are allocated the same frequency resources, leading to significant inter-cell interference problems. Given the negative impact of interference on system performance, several interference mitigation techniques have been proposed, where restrictions are made on resource blocks usage, power allocation, or both. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive survey on the existing ICIC techniques. We classify these techniques, and we study their performance while taking into consideration various design parameters. Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) techniques are required to mitigate the impact of ICI on system performance. In this paper, we address the resource and power allocation problem in multiuser Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) networks such as LTE/LTE-A networks and dense small cell networks. We start screening the state-of-the-art schemes, and provide an exhaustive classification of the existing ICIC approaches. This qualitative classification is followed by a quantitative investigation of several interference mitigation techniques under uniform and non-uniform UE distributions, and for various network loads and radio conditions. The obtained results allow us to select the most adequate technique for each network scenario.
