Femtocell networks may significantly improve the capacity of next-generation cellular
systems due to more efficient utilization of spectrum resources and better link qualities for …

Femtocell networks have the potential of significantly improving the capacity of next-
generation cellular systems. However, interference to/from the macrocell network is a critical …

Open access is one of the access options for femtocell networks, where the mobile stations
(MSs) are allowed to make hand-off to the femtocell base stations (fBSs) in their vicinity. In …

Deployment of femtocells represents a promising solution to increase cost-capacity benefits
for network operators and provide higher data rates to end-users. Femtocells are conceived …

The exponential increase in high rate traffic driven by a new generation of wireless devices
is expected to overload cellular network capacity in the near future. Femtocells have recently …

Femtocell technology is expected to improve both coverage and capacity, especially
indoors. Providers of cellular services are increasingly implementing this technology in their …

A fundamental choice in femtocell deployments is the set of users which are allowed to
access each femtocell. Closed access restricts the set to specifically registered users, while …

Femtocells are low-cost, low-power cellular base stations that are designed to provide high
quality cellular service in residential or enterprise environments and operate in licensed …

In this paper, the feasibility of user deployed femtocells in the same frequency band as an
existing macrocell network is investigated. Key requirements for co-channel operation of …

To improve benefits of macrocell offloading in femto-assisted cellular networks, concept of
cell biasing has been proposed. Cell biasing attempts to offload users from macrocell by …
