DEVELOPMENT OF AN ACCESS MECHANISM FOR FEMTOCELL NETWORKS

Femtocell is a small cellular base station installe d in offices and homes that can combine internet technologies and mobile within the home [1]. The two major limitations of wireless communication are range and capacity. Cellular service is far superio r in areas of high population density compared to s carcely populated areas [2]. Also it provides many benefi ts in terms of cost, power, capacity and scalability. However, there are many challenges in the deployment of femtocells such as network architecture, allocation of spectrum resour ces and the avoidance of electromagnetic interferen ce. In this paper we simulate and develop models of one of access method to create sharing between subscriber s and service operator to improve the coverage of ope rator and reduce the cost for subscribers.
