TL;DR: This article presents a summary of the supported CA scenarios as well as an overview of the CA functionality for LTE-Advanced with special emphasis on the basic concept, control mechanisms, and performance aspects and demonstrates how CA can be used as an enabler for simple yet effective frequency domain interference management schemes.

TL;DR: This article presents extensive network simulation results to demonstrate that a simple and robust interference management scheme, called autonomous component carrier selection, allows each cell to select the most attractive frequency configuration; improving the experience of all users and not just the few best ones, while overall cell capacity is not compromised.

TL;DR: This paper presents the envisioned 5G system design optimized for small cell deployment taking a clean slate approach, i.e. removing most compatibility constraints with the previous generations of mobile radio access technologies.

TL;DR: This contribution proposes a simple and distributed scheme based on so-called background interference matrices (BIMs) for autonomous component carrier selection that allows each eNB to select the most attractive frequency configuration; improving average user capacity and boosting cell edge performance considerably.

TL;DR: The research motivations and high level requirements for a B4G local area concept are discussed and suggestions on the design of the B 4G system as well as on the choice of its key technology components are presented.
