Increase in system capacity and data rates can be achieved efficiently in a wireless system
by getting the transmitter and receiver closer to each other. Femtocells deployed in the …

This paper provides an overview of multi-cell coordinated scheduling and multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) techniques in LTE. We first discuss single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO) …

This book provides an in-depth guide to femtocell technologies In this book, the authors
provide a comprehensive and organized explanation of the femtocell concepts, architecture …

Recently, Long Term Evolution (LTE) has developed a femtocell for indoor coverage
extension. However, interference problem between the femtocell and the macrocell should …

Femtocells have emerged as a promising solution to provide wireless broadband access
coverage in cellular dead zones and indoor environments. Compared with other techniques …

This paper considers downlink spectrum allocation in a long term evolution (LTE) system
macrocell which contains multiple femtocells. By incorporating cognitive capabilities into …

Femtocell is envisioned as a highly promising solution for indoor wireless communications.
The spectrum allocated to femtocells is traditionally from the same licensed spectrum bands …

We address interference avoidance by resource partitioning in densely deployed femtocell
networks. The main objective is to protect user equipments (UEs) that are located near the …

Recently, a series of approaches have been developed to mitigate the interference and
improve the system capacity in LTE networks. However, due to the diversity of data source …

A communication apparatus and method are provided for predicting effects of changes in at
least one radio network parameter on a cellular network which comprises a processor which …
