In a two-tier heterogeneous network (HetNet) where femto access points (FAPs) with lower
transmission power coexist with macro base stations (BSs) with higher transmission power …

Small cell (SC) base stations with cognitive capabilities are seen as an efficient way to cope
with interference between the SC base stations and macrocell base stations (MBSs) …

The heterogeneous network (HetNets) emerge as one of the most auspicious improvements
toward realizing the objective specifications of Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) …

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 …

Access mode of a femtocell network plays a crucial role in determining the service quality of
femtousers and the revenue of network operators. The behavior of a femtocell is not only …

In a system including one or more femtocells within a service area of a macrocell, a method
includes:(a) receiving from a base station of each femtocell information regarding available …

User and cellular operator requirements and expectations have been continuously evolving,
and consequently, advanced radio access technologies have emerged. The International …

he co-channel deployment of a femtocell with a macrocell is considered. We investigate the
resource allocation in the downlink with co-channel interference. A novel utility function is …

This paper investigates the effect of various operation parameters on the downlink user
performance in overlaid small-cell networks. The case study considers closed-access small …

In this paper, we introduce new concept for femtocells with the purpose to minimize cross-
tier interference to the macrocell users (MUEs). The cross-tier interference is mitigated by the …
