There are two main access policies (open and closed) to Femtocell Access Points (FAPs),
being closed access the customers favorite. However, closed access is the root cause of …

This work presents a novel approach for the avoidance of cross-tier interference in two-tier
networks comprised of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) macrocells …

Femtocells that use co-channel allocation with macrocells can considerably increase
wireless coverage and system capacity, especially for indoor and cell-edge users. However …

One of the effective techniques of improving the coverage and enhancing the capacity and
data rate in cellular wireless networks is to reduce the cell size (ie, cell splitting) and …

Femtocell networks, consisting of a conventional macro cellular deployment and overlaying
femtocells, forming a hierarchical cell structure, constitute an attractive solution to improving …

This paper explores the trade-offs of different levels of access control in a mixed femtocell-
macrocell deployment with focus on reverse link (uplink) outage analysis. The aim is to …

In this paper a simple and effective method has been proposed to perform access and
handover management for femtocell systems. Firstly an analysis on interference impact on …

Femtocells are a solution that helps to reduce the capital and operational expenditure of a
mobile network while enhancing system coverage and capacity. However, the avoidance of …

This paper investigates open vs. closed access in the uplink of femtocell networks, for the
particular case of orthogonal multiple access protocols like TDMA or OFDMA. Open access …

Femtocell technology has been drawing considerable attention as a cost-effective means of
extending cellular coverage and enhancing capacity as well as realizing its potential, when …
