This letter proposes a novel model for the two-tier networks (macrocell and femtocell) by
modeling the spatial distribution of macro base stations as a Poisson Point Process and …

In this paper, the energy efficiency (EE) of different MIMO diversity schemes is analyzed for
the downlink of a two-tier network consisting of both macro-and femto-cells. The locations of …

This paper presents a tractable mathematical framework to analyze the spectral and energy
efficiency of an operator initiated deployment of the small-cells (eg, femtocells) where the …

The femtocell deployment in 3GPP/LTE sets new challenges to energy efficiency and Radio
Resource Management (RRM). Traditional schemes are mainly designed for classical …

Cellular networks are becoming heterogeneous due to the deployment of various low-
powered base stations (BSs) within the macro cells. This introduces different classes of BSs …

Two-tier femtocell networks-comprising a conventional cellular network plus embedded
femtocell hotspots-offer an economically viable solution to achieving high cellular user …

Adding Femto Base Stations (FBSs) has become a common approach toward capacity and
coverage enhancements in the current cellular networks. Moreover, rapidly growing demand …

The use of small cells is a promising way of providing the required capacity in future cellular
