Network operators are constantly trying to increase their capacity and coverage at minimal
cost. Femtocells are low cost base stations that are deployed indoors either by home users …

Femtocells are tiny base stations designed for the improvement of coverage and capacity of
the cellular networks. Subscribers can get and install femtocells in their premises to improve …

Femto cells have been integrated into 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular network
architecture to efficiently address the coverage and capacity issues faced in indoors and at …

In order to deal with exponential demand of cellular data, operators inevitably have to
deploy additional base stations. Such deployments surly improve network capacity and …

LTE (Long Term Evolution) is standard developed by 3GPP (third generation partnership
project) for providing 3G and 4G services. In LTE-Femtocell networks, macro cells and …

Due to the increasing demand for higher data rates by mobile users, the deployment of
femtocells under macro coverage has been adopted by 3GPP LTE-Advanced systems as …

Cellular network faces numerous challenges in providing service to indoor users. Traditional
macrobase stations provide limited coverage to indoor subscribers because they operate on …

In this paper we discuss some of the benefits and challenges of deploying femtocells in a
cellular network. In particular, we focus on the tradeoff between energy efficiency and …

The use of femtocells has been an attractive solution since it achieves better coverage and
capacity and low cost for deployment and maintenance. However, their performance can be …

Femtocells can be easily deployed in macrocell LTE network without requiring a centralized
planning to provide high data rate connectivity with a limited coverage. Femtocell is low …
