Home NodeBs (HNB) s can be operated in a fully-closed manner (in which only user
equipment (UEs) within a closed subscriber group (CSG) are permitted to connect), a fully …

Future wireless networks are designed to cope with drastically increasing user demands.
However, network resources reach the limits of their capacity to user requirements. Recently …

The hierarchical macro/femto cell based BWA networks are observed to be quite promising
for mobile operators as it improves their network coverage and capacity at the outskirt of the …

Femtocell network is regarded as the potential and effective technique to improve the
capacity and coverage of traditional cellular networks. One of the challenges is how to …

The Physical Cell Identity (PCI) is used to identify femtocell in LTE femtocell as the physical
layer identity. Due to the fact that a) the PCIs are normally allocated without planning; and b) …

We present a vision for 4G cellular networks based on the concept of autonomous
infrastructure deployment. Cellular base stations, or femtocell access points, are deployed …

This paper studies different admission control policies for femtocell operation. As a macro
user moves closer to femtocell, macro user generates greater interference to femto user. If …

The economics of the market that a network architecture enables has a important bearing on
its success and eventual adoption. Some of these economic issues are tightly coupled with …

An important issue affecting cellular networks is to make services available to regions of bad
or no reception. Femtocells aim to improve poor indoor network coverage in cellular …
