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 …
Open access is one of the access options for femtocell networks, where the mobile stations (MSs) are allowed to make hand-off to the femtocell base stations (fBSs) in their vicinity. In …
Deployment of femtocells represents a promising solution to increase cost-capacity benefits for network operators and provide higher data rates to end-users. Femtocells are conceived …
The exponential increase in high rate traffic driven by a new generation of wireless devices is expected to overload cellular network capacity in the near future. Femtocells have recently …
Femtocell technology is expected to improve both coverage and capacity, especially indoors. Providers of cellular services are increasingly implementing this technology in their …

Femtocells are low-cost, low-power cellular base stations that are designed to provide high quality cellular service in residential or enterprise environments and operate in licensed …
H Claussen - 2007 IEEE 18th International Symposium on …, 2007 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, the feasibility of user deployed femtocells in the same frequency band as an existing macrocell network is investigated. Key requirements for co-channel operation of …
To improve benefits of macrocell offloading in femto-assisted cellular networks, concept of cell biasing has been proposed. Cell biasing attempts to offload users from macrocell by …
