In this paper, we present an analysis on the characteristics of cross‐tier interference in
regard to femtocells deployed in LTE cellular networks. We also present a cross‐tier SLNR …

The femtocell has evolved as a great solution for improving coverage and traffic offloading
from the current LTE cellular networks, and it accomplishes the dreams of the high data rate …

Femtocells are densely deployed in the next generation heterogeneous cellular networks
(HetNet) to improve the user performance and capacity of the cellular system. In LTE-A …

With the increasing demand of mobile data traffic, cellular networks are evolving towards
heterogeneous systems involving cells of different sizes (eg, pico, micro, and macro cells) …

Femtocell networks have emerged as an important means of offloading traffic from today's
LTE cellular networks. However, deploying LTE femtocells increases the interference in the …

Femtocells are low power access points that can be deployed by the consumer indoors to
alleviate cellular coverage problems, offload traffic from the cellular network and boost user …

For satisfying the need of increasing number of users, their demands for the services and to
provide enhanced indoor coverage, Long Term Evolution (LTE) has developed small …

Due to the requirement for extensive coverage, Long Term Evolution (LTE) has developed
small cellular base stations called femtocells that can dramatically improve voice and data …

In heterogeneous networks (HetNet), transmit power control at Femtocell Access Point (FAP)
is a major problem in reducing cross-tier interference, where providing better Quality of …

Femtocells offer an attractive solution to locally improve the data rates and coverage of
mobile networks, however interference issues may rise when they are deployed to nearby …
