—Femtocells have been considered by the wireless industry as a promising solution not only to improve indoor coverage, but also to unload traffic from already overburdened macroc...
Abstract--In two-tier networks consisting of a macrocell overlaid with femtocells in co-channel deployment and closed-access policy, spatial reuse is achieved at the price of sever...
Abstract-- Two-tier networks, comprising a conventional cellular network overlaid with shorter range hotspots (e.g. femtocells, distributed antennas, or wired relays), offer an eco...
—Cellular operators have been offloading data traffic from their licensed bands to unlicensed bands through a large number of WiFi hotspots over the past years. Although this a...
One of the most critical issues in femtocell network deployment is interference management, especially for femtocells sharing the spectrum occupied by conventional cellular networ...
