UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:129679444 AB - This licentiate thesis by Georgios Smpokos focuses on the performance analysis of wireless heterogeneous networks (HetNets), addressing traffic optimization, energy efficiency, and security aspects. It explores virtual networking techniques that replace monolithic network operations with more flexible, software-driven solutions. Key areas of study include traffic offloading from cellular to non-cellular networks, optimization of core network operations considering environmental factors, and ensuring physical layer secrecy in collaborative small cell networks. The research employs machine learning and probability theory to enhance network performance and security. The intended audience includes researchers and professionals in wireless communication technologies. ER -
