Today's heterogeneous networks comprised of mostly macrocells and indoor small cells will
not be able to meet the upcoming traffic demands. Indeed, it is forecasted that at least a 100 …

With the introduction of femtocells, cellular networks are moving from the conventional
centralized network architecture to a distributed one, where each network cell should make …

As future networks aim to meet the ever-increasing requirements of high-data rate
applications, dense, and heterogeneous networks (HetNets) will be deployed to provide …

Femtocells can effectively resolve the poor connectivity issue of indoor cellular users. This
paper investigates the economic incentive for a cellular operator to add femtocell service on …

The concept of a user‐deployed femtocell that operates in licensed spectrum and provides
cellular coverage in the home has attracted much interest in the wireless industry and an …

Femtocells or home base stations are a proposed solution to the problem of degraded
indoor service from the macrocell base station in future 4G data networks. In this paper, we …

Mobile data offloading can help the mobile network operator (MNO) cope with the explosive
growth of cellular traffic, by delivering mobile traffic through third-party access points …

There are two main access policies (open and closed) to Femtocell Access Points (FAPs),
being closed access the customers favorite. However, closed access is the root cause of …

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 …

Femtocells are a promising technology for handling exponentially increasing wireless data
traffic. Although extensive attention has been paid to resource control mechanisms, for …
