Abstract

An important issue affecting cellular networks is to make services available to regions of bad or no reception. Femtocells aim to improve poor indoor network coverage in cellular communication, which has attracted network operators and stakeholders. Even though femtocells are discovering an important role, the issue of interference as a result of blindly placed femtocell access points (FAPs) needs to be addressed. This chapter presents performance analysis of a coverage radius based power control scheme (PS) to circumvent the problems caused by blind placement of FAPs. It describes the coverage radius based PS to mitigate interference for blindly placed Long Term Evolution (LTE) femtocells. The chapter also presents the system model and simulation parameters based on 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) LTE specifications. It details the performance analysis, results and discussion.
