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 …

A significant technical challenge in deploying fem-tocells is controlling the interference from
the underlay of femtos onto the overlay of macros. This paper presents a novel interference …

This letter introduces analytical expressions for the modeling of path loss and shadow fading
in residential indoor-to-outdoor scenarios. The formulas have been calibrated using channel …

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 …

A dynamic system level simulator for LTE networks was developed for investigating the
interference behaviour of femtocells placed within macrocells. We simulate a multi-cell, multi …

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 are envisioned to be deployed in indoor environments in order to improve both
radio coverage and system capacity. This paper focuses on the self-organization of …

A new model used to compute the outdoor to indoor signal strength emitted from an outdoor
base station is presented. This model is based on the combination of 2 existing models …

The self-installation nature of femtocells sharing the same frequency band can lead to
harmful femto-to-femto interference levels. The possibility for operators to share its licensed …

In this paper, a new model used to compute the outdoor to indoor signal strength emitted by
a base station is presented. This model is based on the combination of 2 existing models …
