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 …

Energy consumption of wireless networks is now a very important research topic and several
research teams worldwide are proposing solutions for the so-called green wireless …

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 …

In this paper, we propose a new concept called mobile Femtocell (MFemtocell) network,
which can be considered as a practical implementation of mobile relays (more precisely …

Self-organizing networks promise significant expenditure savings for operators when rolling
out modern cellular network infrastructure, such as Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE …

The mobile femtocell (MFemtocell) is a new concept that has been recently proposed to be a
potential wireless communication technology for next-generation cellular systems. The …

The rise of heterogeneity in technology, types of services, and coverage area of radio
access in the Fifth Generation (5G) wireless communication, opens new challenges in …

Small cell (SC) base stations with cognitive capabilities are seen as an efficient way to cope
with interference between the SC base stations and macrocell base stations (MBSs) …

In recent years, femtocell plays an important role in wireless networks not only for its
spectrum reuse but also for its low power consumption. However, there exist several critical …

This paper proposes an opportunistic power control (PC) algorithm to mitigate the aggregate
interference (AGGI) from active femtocells in uplink transmission. Macrocell base station …
