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 …

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 …

Femtocells are assuming an increasingly important role in the coverage and capacity of
cellular networks. In contrast to existing cellular systems, femtocells are end-user deployed …

Femtocells are low-power, very small-service-area (eg home or office environment) cellular
base stations that will significantly impact the cellular landscape in the next several years …

Over the last two years, GSM and UMTS femtocell access points have been proposed as a
solution to the poor indoor coverage problem experienced in certain areas. Research on …

A fundamental choice in femtocell deployments is the set of users which are allowed to
access each femtocell. Closed access restricts the set to specifically registered users, while …

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 …

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 …

The concept of a user‐deployed femtocell that operates in licensed spectrum and provides
cellular coverage in the home has attracted much interest in the wireless industry and an …

Femtocells are a promising solution for the provision of high indoor coverage and capacity.
Furthermore, OFDMA-based femtocells have proven to be highly versatile when dealing with …
