To reduce the number of unnecessary handover in hierarchical macro/femto-cell networks, it
is necessary to avoid macro→ femto cell handovers of temporary femtocell visitors who stay …

Due to the high traffic demand in cellular networks, femtocells are considered as one
promising solution for providing cellular traffic offloading and better indoor coverage …

In this paper, we propose a new approach for optimizing the handoff decision in femtocell
networks using Hidden Markov Model. To do so, we formulate the handoff problem as an …

Femtocell is considered as one of the prominent techniques to improve the cellular network
coverage and the system capacity, which is applied by installing the femtocell base station …

Prediction of user mobility can assist resource and mobility management of wireless and
mobile networks by optimizing handover execution, resource utilization, and so on. There …

Femtocell is an emerging technology aiming for a better indoor coverage. Due to its low
costs, high grade of service, promotion of fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) and no change …

Femtocell technology is envisioned to be widely deployed in subscribers' homes to provide
high data rate communications with quality of service. Dense deployment of femtocells will …

Deployment of femtocells with a small coverage range in wireless networks leads to a
frequent handover initiation. The problem is more crucial when femtocells operate in an …

Hierarchical macrocell and femtocell networks aim to provide seamless roaming and
improve network capacity. UEs moving in such networks may experience frequent …

Femtocell systems are providing cost-effective high-bandwidth service in wireless cellular
systems under very low transmission power compared to macro-cell. Normally, conventional …
