An LTE-femtocell dynamic system level simulator

A dynamic system level simulator for LTE networks was developed for investigating the interference behaviour of femtocells placed within macrocells. We simulate a multi-cell, multi-user and multi-carrier system in the downlink for Single-Input, Single-Output (SISO) and Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna configurations.
