    Abstract: Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a promising option for the 4th generation communications because of its higher data rates, lower latency and larger coverage. However, in a multi-cell LTE network, the network performance may be deteriorated by load imbalance. The unbalanced load among multiple cells leads to a higher delay and a higher packet drop rate...

    Abstract: In this paper, a compact slotted circular monopole antenna with spike shaped slots embedded in it is presented. Also, the proposed antenna has ground length limited to 33% of substrate length. This ground is provided on the back side of the antenna geometry to excite the antenna by microstrip line feed. A slotted circular patch element will be ach... Show More
