Abstract:

Small cells are expected to contribute to the targets of next generation mobile networks. Ultra dense networks through the form of heterogeneous structures of multiple RAT technologies and small cells present a flexible, economical way for better coverage and data rates. In this paper, we investigate particularly how femtocells may best utilize their available resources in order to increase their provided capacity when neighbouring femtocells are present. We propose a spectrum policy, according to which femtocell deployments are forming clusters and the femtocells adopt hybrid access policy versus users subscribed to other femtocells members of the same cluster. We also determine the spectrum allocation for non-subscribed users in the range of the femtocell. We evaluate the performance of the set up through simulations showing that the mechanism offers better overall capacity.

I. Introduction

Femtocells and small cells in general are a cornerstone of next generation networks. From its concept, future networks are designed with the consideration that the extreme demand in data rates can only be met by utilizing multiple base stations of small radius, scattered along the umbrella of macrocell infrastructure[1]. The usage of millimetre wave spectrum with the significant penetration losses that characterizes it, makes the limited radius of small cells even more useful. Added with their flexibility, capability for mobility, their user-friendly deployment and their cost effective features, small cells in the form of micro-, pico-and femtocells are an integral part of what will comprise the next generation networks.
