Femtocell access points (FAPs) are low-powered and small-sized base stations that provide
high data rates and coverage to the indoor users. Because of their operation in the same …

To increase spatial frequency efficiency and transmit capacity, multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) heterogeneous networks (HetNets) are extensively applied in modern cellular …

To cope with the data surge problem and to enhance the coverage of existing cellular
systems, heterogeneous networks (HetNets) are deployed in hierarchical manner …

The deployment of heterogeneous networks (HetNets) inevitably demands the design of
interference management techniques to elevate the overall network performance. This …

In cellular networks, fractional frequency reuse (FFR) is an effective inter-cell interference
mitigation technique to achieve significant coverage improvement for cell edge users. Area …

The need for small-sized and low-powered home base stations such as femtocells has
increased with an escalated data demand. Since the downlink traffic is larger in magnitude …

Modern cellular networks are currently transitioning from homogeneous networks to
heterogeneous networks (HetNets). Unlike homogeneous networks, HetNets comprise of K …

Recently, there is an increasing interest in the deployment of femto access points (FAPs),
which are short-range low-power home base stations, over a macro cellular network to …

We introduce a comprehensive analytical framework to compare between open access and
closed access in two-tier femtocell networks, with regard to uplink interference and outage …

Modern day cellular networks are driven by the need to provide ubiquitous connectivity with
very high spectral efficiency to both indoor and outdoor users, hence the need to deploy …
