Femtocell architecture involves the use of two separate layers-the macrocell and femtocell
layers. In this architecture, the former is the conventional cellular network, whereas the latter …

As one of next-generation wireless communication systems, Third Generation Partnership
Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) is committed to provide technologies for high …

Massive MIMO has emerged as one technology enabler for the next generation mobile
communications 5G. The gains promised by massive MIMO are augured to overcome the …

In this study, an efficient handover algorithm based on the received signal strength (RSS)
prediction is presented for two‐tier macro–femtocell networks in which, because of the …

Femtocell is a low power base station used to expand the capacity of mobile network.
However when hundreds or thousands of femtocells operate together the total power …

This paper presents a mobile health monitoring scheme based on femtocell and mobile
cloud computing. In this scheme, the health information of each user is captured by sensors …

The deployment of femtocells is beneficial for both users and operators. On the one hand, it
can be used to improve the indoor coverage, but on the other hand it will inevitably produce …

To address the challenging issues of energy-efficiency and seamless connectivity in
heterogeneous networks, 3GPP and IEEE have recently incorporated several architectural …

In this paper, we address the problem of optimizing resources for downlink transmission in a
macro–femtocell network under non-dense femtocell deployment. In the literature, some …

In recent years, development of femtocells are receiving considerable attention towards
increasing the network coverage, capacity, and improvement in the quality of service for …
