abstract = {In the ever-growing field of 5G technology, Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems hold the promise of substantial improvements in net-work capacity and efficiency. However, the demand for low latency, imposed by real-time Internet of Things (IoT) applications presents some significant obsta-cles. This study delves into novel approaches to reducing latency within 5G MIMO setups, focusing particularly on the integration of shortened Transmission Time Intervals (TTIs) and preemptive scheduling tactics. Through simulations in-volving a small-scale MIMO configuration servicing multiple IoT devices, this study thoroughly evaluates the effects of these methods on transmission latency. The desired result is to demonstrate that the adoption of reduced TTIs notably mitigates overall latency, thereby augmenting the efficacy of time-sensitive IoT tasks such as industrial automation and healthcare monitoring systems. This re-search not only contributes to the theoretical progression of 5G communications but also furnishes practical insights for network operators and system designers trying to fine-tune 5G networks for evolving IoT environments. The simulation results indicate that the proposed techniques significantly reduce latency by ap-proximately 30% compared to standard configurations, particularly benefiting high-priority IoT applications. These findings highlight the effectiveness of shortened TTIs and preemptive scheduling in enhancing the performance of real-time IoT tasks within 5G MIMO networks.},

abstract = {In this paper we evaluate the energy efficiency of Downlink/Uplink Decoupling (DUDe) systems by considering the energy consumption of each Base Station (BS) and the communication overhead between the BSs and User Equipment (UE). Through extensive simulations, the energy efficiency of DUDe systems is evaluated under various scenarios, such as different UE densities, Base Stations (BSs) configurations, and traffic patterns. The simulation results indicate that the proposed DUDe system can achieve significant energy savings compared to traditional centralized 5G systems. The impact of various parameters on energy efficiency is also analyzed, providing guidelines for designing energy-efficient DUDe systems. The paper emphasizes the significance of energy-efficient design in 5G networks, as it can significantly reduce the operational costs and carbon footprint of the network.},

This paper delves into optimizing resource allocation within 5G Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) networks by leveraging Downlink/Uplink Decoupling (DUDe) techniques. MIMO technology, enabling the simultaneous transmission of multiple data streams, holds promise for boosting spectral efficiency. However, accommodating the dynamic and diverse user requirements poses a significant challenge in resource allocation.

abstract = {To be able to respond to the explosively increased data traffic demand of 5G and beyond networks (Internet of Things (IoT) , Voice/Video calls, Peer2Peer (P2P) software, etc.), one of the most promising technologies are densified Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets). In HetNets, base stations are brought closer to users with the placement of small base stations, which results in better spectral and energy efficiency for cellular systems. However, the HetNet topology challenges traditional cellular systems. One of the most important challenges is user association. Aiming to avoid the drawback caused by Downlink/Uplink Coupling (DUCo) access in HetNets user association, a Downlink/Uplink Decoupling DUDe Access approach has emerged. By allowing access points in the uplink and downlink association to be different, DUDe greatly improves the uplink performance of HetNets. In this paper, we evaluate energy efficiency and resource allocation of DUDe approach.},

abstract = {In previous years, 3G and 4G cellular homogeneous networks configured with macro Base Stations (BSs) relied only on the downlink signal, even though transmission power and interference levels differ significantly between uplink and downlink. In 5G Heterogeneous Networks (HetNet), a new generation which have multiple BSs of different types such as Femto BS and Macro BS, there is the possibility of choosing to receive the data from one BS and transmit them to a different BS, and therefore decoupling the uplink and downlink. Especially, the increasing demand for faster, more reliable, and efficient connectivity has made the optimization of User Equipment (UE) allocation in 5G networks a crucial task. To tackle the challenges posed by heterogeneous 5G networks, this study compares and evaluates the performance of Downlink/Uplink Decoupling (DUDe) and traditional Downlink/Uplink Coupled (DUCo) user allocation approaches. Simulation results show that DUDe UE allocation outperforms DUCo by providing improved network performance and more efficient utilization of network resources in diverse network conditions. These findings have important implications for the design and optimization of 5G networks and provide valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in the field.},
