Cognitive femtocell has emerged as one of the promising ways to solve the indoor coverage
and spectrum shortage problems in cellular networks. However, it is a challenge to motivate …

Abstract Home Evolved Node B (HeNB), which is the base-station of femtocell, is a popular
research topic in the future Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. It can serve many indoor …

In this paper, we study an uplink network configuration in a two-tier macro-femto
heterogeneous system with hybrid access control. We consider a system where one macro …

In the upcoming generation of mobile networks, femtocells will play a major role because
they provide cost‐efficient improvement in data rates and coverage. High penetration is …

In this paper, three channel assignment models are proposed for channel resource
allocation in femtocells. The models proposed are based on the Markov chain process …

Small cells are expected to contribute to the targets of next generation mobile networks.
Ultra dense networks through the form of heterogeneous structures of multiple RAT …

Femtocells are small, low‐power cellular base stations with high potential for coverage
extension and offloading voice and wireless data. In this paper, we study the problem of joint …

In this study, the hybrid‐access problem in multi‐femtocell networks, where multiple
femtocell registered users (FRUs) and unregistered users (FURUs) coexist, is solved based …

The densification of mobile networks with small cells is seen as the most promising solution
to the explosive data traffic increase. Due to their financial implementation requirements …

Femtocell network is regarded as the potential and effective technique to improve the
capacity and coverage of traditional cellular networks. One of the challenges is how to …
