| Abstract | The extensive increase in the number of mobile devices and their data-rate requirements will lead to the scarcity of network resources. One of the promising solutions to keep up with the capacity and coverage demands of the $5^{th}$ generation and beyond of cellular networks is to exploit the dual connectivity (DC) feature in heterogeneous networks (HetNets). In this work, a two-tier aerial HetNet with decoupled access and reverse frequency allocation strategy is considered and the DC feature for the network edge users is investigated. The analytical expressions of the coverage probability for the first and second uplink (UL) connections in DC are derived. Our proposed setup improves the coverage performance of the DC with decoupled access in relation to single connectivity (SC) with and without decoupled access. The results show a relative increase in the DC-based coverage performance of 10.6% and 82.6%, for a signal-to-interference-ratio (SIR) threshold of −20 dB, with respect to SC with and without decoupled access, respectively. Moreover, DC-based coverage in aerial HetNets is resilient to jamming interference. The results also show that if the wide-band jammers (WBJs) are present around a target-user equipment, the legitimate UL transmission is severely disrupted by the jamming interference. For instance, the percentage-decrease in the coverage performance of DC with decoupled access for the SIR threshold set to −20 dB is 4.9% and 10.6%, when the WBJs is set to 2 and 4, respectively. The coverage performance further decreases with an increase in the transmit powers of the WBJs and their number, whereas increases with an increase in the radius of the WBJs cluster. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
