Preface
In the recent years, cellular networks have witnessed a significant increase in bandwidth-intensive and data-centric applications. Moreover, non-uniform user density and variations in the traffic types pose additional challenges to provide adequate Quality of Service (QoS) to all the users. With wireless communications approaching physical layer spectral efficiency limits, new approaches are being investigated at the network layer to address the requirements of QoS. Heterogeneous network or HetNet is one such approach. Heterogeneous network typically comprises of several low-power nodes which may be overlaid over an umbrella macro-cell network. Moreover, these low-power nodes may have different Radio Access Technologies (RAT). Thus, heterogeneous network could cover the span from cellular entities such as macro base stations, relay, pico, and femto nodes to non-cellular networks such as Wi-fi and plethora of sensor nodes eventuall
