This paper provides an overview of the use of small cells (eg, femtocells) in the Internet of
Things (IoT) environments. As a result of rapid increase in the number of mobile connected …

Support of femtocells is an integral part of the Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A)
system and a key enabler for its wide adoption in a broad scale. Femtocells are short-range …

Femtocells are assuming an increasingly important role in the coverage and capacity of
cellular networks. In contrast to existing cellular systems, femtocells are end-user deployed …

We consider the joint resource allocation and admission control problem for Orthogonal
Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)-based femtocell networks. We assume that …

Femtocell technology has been drawing considerable attention as a cost-effective means of
extending cellular coverage and enhancing capacity as well as realizing its potential, when …

Mobility robustness optimization (MRO) is a fundamental issue regarding self-optimization
network (SON). In long-term evolution-advanced (LTE-A), handover (HO) optimization in …

Femtocells are a promising technology to improve network performance with short-range,
low-power, and cost-beneficial small base stations. There will be many prospective benefits …

Femtocell is a promising solution for enhancing the indoor coverage and capacity in
wireless networks. However, for the small size of femtocell and potentially frequent power …

We define and propose a femtocell-based cognitive radio architecture for enabling
multitiered opportunistic access in next-generation broadband wireless systems. This …

Overlaying low-power, low-cost, femtocells, over existing wireless networks has recently
emerged as a means to significantly improve the coverage and performance of next …
