Cross-Layer Performance Analysis of Downlink Multi-Flow Carrier Aggregation in Heterogeneous Networks

Multi-flow carrier aggregation (CA) is an emerging technique that is implemented to improve the capacity of cellular networks. In this paper, we study the cross-layer performance of user equipments (UEs) in heterogeneous networks under multi-flow CA. We develop a queuing analytical model for measuri...
