Recently, Long Term Evolution (LTE) has developed a femtocell for indoor coverage
extension. However, interference problem between the femtocell and the macrocell should …

Long Term Evolution (LTE) has developed a new technology in order to enhance indoor
coverage. This new technology is called femtocells and is achieved with the use of access …

In this paper, we consider the use of fractional frequency reuse (FFR) to mitigate inter-
femtocell interference in multi-femtocell environments. The use of universal frequency reuse …

Femtocells have been recently proposed as a potential good solution to increase not only
indoor radio coverage, but also system capacity. In this paper, a framework for radio …

Femto cells, also called home base stations, are small cellular access points installed by
home users to get better indoor voice and data coverage with lower network operation cost …

Femtocells constitute an economical solution conceived for improving the indoor coverage,
which are capable of achieving a high network capacity. In order to guarantee a high …

The concept of small cells such as femtocells has been regarded as a promising solution to
overcome the indoor coverage problem and deal with the growth of traffic within macrocells …

Increase in system capacity and data rates can be achieved efficiently in a wireless system
by getting the transmitter and receiver closer to each other. Femtocells deployed in the …

This paper investigates the impact of femtocell interference on existing macrocells with
fractional frequency reuse (FFR). Instead of using complicated transmission techniques by …

Femtocells are expected to increase network capacity, extend macrocell coverage, and
introduce new services. Because femtocells share the same frequency band with macrocells …
