Femtocell networks have the potential of significantly improving the capacity of next-
generation cellular systems. However, interference to/from the macrocell network is a critical …

A fundamental choice in femtocell deployments is the set of users which are allowed to
access each femtocell. Closed access restricts the set to specifically registered users, while …

A dynamic system level simulator for LTE networks was developed for investigating the
interference behaviour of femtocells placed within macrocells. We simulate a multi-cell, multi …

This paper addresses the interference management problem in the context of LTE-
Advanced femtocells. Due to the expected large number of user-deployed cells, centralized …

Heterogeneous Networks (HetNet) are multi-mode, multi-layer, and multi-band structured
and utilize cells of varying sizes. The goal behind the implementation of HetNets involves …

Femtocell technology has improved cellular coverage and capacity allowing the provision of
rich and interactive communication services in current mobile networks. However, this …

In order to avoid inter-cell interference, OFDMA networks are flexible in terms of radio
resource management techniques, supporting different frequency reuse schemes (FRSs) …

Femtocell networks may significantly improve the capacity of next-generation cellular
systems due to more efficient utilization of spectrum resources and better link qualities for …

The use of static system-level simulators is common practice for estimating the impact of re-
planning actions in cellular networks. In this paper, a modification of a classical static Long …

Femtocell networks are considered to be a viable option that can fulfill the demands of high
speed voice and data traffic for the indoor users. It uses the services of the existing …
