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 …

This article presents the results of a series of field tests to characterize femtocell coverage
quality in typical residential houses with respect to high-speed data services. The study …

Femtocell refers to a new class of low-power, low-cost base stations (BSs) which can
provide improved indoor coverage and higher voice/data Quality of Service (QoS). Hybrid …

This report presents an empirical study on the performance of mobile High Speed Packet
Access (HSPA, a 3G+ cellular standard) networks in Hong Kong via extensive field tests. Our …

Femtocell technology is an emerging solution that is promising for improving indoor
coverage problems and enhancing cell capacity. In a femtocell network, the overall system …

Intercell interference is one of the most challenging issues in femtocell deployment under
the coverage of existing macrocell. Allocation of resources between femtocell and macrocell …

HSDPA networks are currently being deployed; however, there is little knowledge about how
these networks perform and behave, and which will the Quality of Service and Quality of …

Radio coverage shrinkage is one of the key factors that places limitation on link data
transmission rate quality in mobile broadband networks, especially on users at cell edge …

In this paper, we develop a simulation tool to study the performance of hybrid femtocell
access in a High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) network. A hybrid resource …

In this paper, we evaluate the capacity gains expected when introducing HSUPA+ capable
devices in the network. We first develop a flow level capacity for a cell carrying legacy UMTS …
