This work presents a novel approach for the avoidance of cross-tier interference in two-tier networks comprised of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) macrocells and femtocells. This new technique is based on the use of Intracell HandOvers (IHOs), and it makes possible that either a macrocell or a femtocell can reassign its sub-channel or power allocation upon the detection of cross-tier...
Femtocells are a promising solution for the provision of high indoor coverage and capacity. Furthermore, OFDMA-based femtocells have proven to be highly versatile when dealing with cross-layer co-channel interference thanks to the allocation of frequency subchannels. However, concerns still exist related to the impact of the different access methods to femtocells in an overlayed network. Femtocells...
This work presents 2 novel approaches for the self-organization of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) femtocells, in which the femtocell is able to dynamically sense the air interface and tune its sub-channel allocation in order to reduce inter-cell interference and enhance system capacity. In the sensing phase, these techniques make use of either messages broadcast by the femtocells...
OFDMA femtocells have been pointed out by the industry as a good solution not only to overcome the indoor coverage problem but also to deal with the growth of traffic within macrocells. However, the deployment of a new femtocell layer may have an undesired impact on the performance of the macrocell layer. The allocation of spectrum resources and the avoidance of electromagnetic interference are some...
