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 …

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 …

Small cell base stations (SBSs) and multiple antennas are seen as fundamental
technologies in the emergence of the next generation [ie, 5th generation (5G)] of cellular …

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 …

The femtocell concept is an emerging technology for deploying the next generation of the
wireless networks, aiming at indoor coverage enhancement, increasing capacity, and …

Interference is the main source of capacity limitation in wireless networks. In some medium
access technologies in cellular networks, such as OFDMA, the allocation of frequency …

In third generation wireless network, the demand of wireless multimedia service is
responsible for the enormous growth of data traffic. Cellular operators throughout the world …

Femtocell networks are considered to be a viable option that can fulfill the demands of high
