Femtocell technology has shifted beyond indoor residential applications to cover a wider
range of scenarios including metropolitan and rural areas. The term “small cell” has hence …

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the deployment and management of
femto base stations (BSs) to optimize the overall system performance in macro-femto …

In this paper we present the deployment algorithm for femtocells in capacity-limited scenario.
We consider the operator-deployed femtocells that extend outdoor coverage to the areas …

Femtocells are recognized as effective for improving network coverage and capacity and for
reducing power consumption due to the reduced range of wireless transmissions. Although …

Provisioning the capacity of wireless networks is difficult when peak load is significantly
higher than average load, for example, in public spaces like airports or train stations. Service …

The surest way to increase the capacity of a wireless system is by getting the transmitters
and receivers closer to each other, which creates the dual benefits of higher quality links and …

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 …

Densely-deployed femtocell networks are used to enhance wireless coverage in public
spaces such as office buildings, subways, and academic buildings. These networks can …

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

Femto cells are a cost-effective means of providing ubiquitous connectivity in future
broadband wireless networks. While their primary purpose has been to improve coverage in …
