Small cell deployment is considered one of solutions to increase capacity and improve the coverage to meet the growing of mobile data traffic. LTE-Wi-Fi Aggregation (LWA) is Heterogeneous based which enables an aggregation between LTE small cells and Wi-Fi Access Points (AP) at radio network...

Facility location decisions play a critical role in designing logistics networks. This article provides some guidelines on how location decisions and logistics functions can be integrated into a single mathematical model to optimize the configuration of a logistics network. This will be...

The topic of alternative price zone configurations is frequently discussed in Central Western Europe where - so far - national borders coincide with borders of price zones. Reconfiguring these price zones is one option in order to improve congestion management, foster trading across borders of...

A drawback of robust statistical techniques is the increased computational effort often needed compared to non robust methods. Robust estimators possessing the exact fit property, for example, are NP-hard to compute. This means thatunder the widely believed assumption that the computational...
