This paper provides an overview of the use of small cells (eg, femtocells) in the Internet of
Things (IoT) environments. As a result of rapid increase in the number of mobile connected …

In this paper, we provide a survey on abstraction models for evaluating aggregate
interference statistics in urban heterogeneous cellular networks. The two principal …

In dense indoor areas, high numbers of people use their smartphones and tablets to share
or download pictures, videos, or data. The heterogeneous network (HetNet) solves the …

Long-term evolution 'LTE'advanced-based heterogeneous networks are used to improve
spectral efficiency per unit area. Nowadays, the network specialists try to increase the …

In mobile networks, detecting and eliminating areas with poor performance is key to optimize
end-user experience. In spite of the vast set of measurements provided by current mobile …

The femtocell networks have been developed to solve the indoor coverage issues. In the
large commercial buildings, finding the minimum number of femtocells and their locations …

In cognitive heterogeneous networks, when multiple adjacent femtocells are deployed,
uncontrolled transmission power can lead to severe mutual interference. In order to reduce …

Femtocells are designed to cover small indoor areas. In commercial buildings, femtocell
placement and number is one of the most important network issues. In such buildings …

Small cell systems are a cost-effective solution to provide adequate coverage inside
buildings. Nonetheless, the addition of any indoor site requires evaluating the trade-off …

One of the features of Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the deployment of femtocells as the
underlain cell of a macrocell without any intervention of frequency planning to offload the …
