“…Furthermore, the traffic of users within an MFetmocell would be treated as a single-user traffic when sending to or receiving from the MFemtocell over the air interface. MFemtocell is also able to adopt other backhaul methods for carrying the traffic such as using a different radio access technology (e.g., Wi-Fi [12] or satellite) on a different spectrum. These options will enable more reliability in case that the serving macro BS is broken down due to failures and/or high congestion.…”

Mobile femtocell (MFemtocell) is a new concept that has been proposed recently to be a potential wireless communication technology for the next generation cellular systems. The essence of MFemtocell lies in adopting the femtocell technology inside vehicles such as trains, buses, or private cars, to provide better coverage and good Internet experience whilst on the move. In this paper, we investigate the spectral and energy efficiency for the MFemtocell-assisted network with different resource partitioning schemes. Closed-form expressions for the relationships between the spectral efficiency and energy efficiency are derived for a link-level MFemtocell network. We also investigate the spectral efficiency for multi-user system-level MFemtocells with opportunistic scheduling schemes. Our analysis shows that MFemtocells can provide better spectral and energy efficiency compared to direct transmission scheme.

“…In [13], the authors have developed a generic framework called (MFW), which stands for mobile femto cells utilizing Wi-Fi, that can exploit both Wi-Fi and femto-cell networks at the same time. The proposed framework allows operators in a public transportation system to offload the traffic generated by the users onto femto base stations (mob FBS), and the mob FBS utilizes the Wi-Fi as a backhaul to route the traffic to the cellular network instead of the loaded macro-cell.…”

The exponential data traffic growth cannot be satisfied anymore with traditional ways by building new Base Stations (BS) or leasing new spectrum bands, which is costly from the operator's point of view. In order to accommodate with this high data proliferation, the Third Generation Partner Ship Project (3GPP) has introduced Long Term Evolution (LTE). An LTE network can handle more traffic with reduced cost and complexity, by adding new spectrum and wider bands. Researchers are more interested in coping with increased capacity by involving a heterogeneous network along with LTE as a better solution. The focus of this research is to discuss a specific variation of heterogeneous networks, which is Multi Radio Access Technology (RAT), as multiple

“…Traffic offloading from the LTE cellular network is currently a widely used method to manage exponentially increasing data traffic [4]. A femtocell is a promising candidate in this regard, as 45% of the mobile data traffic is offloaded through the femtocell because most of the data traffic originates from the indoor environment [5]. It is expected that, in the near future, indoor environments like schools, airports, homes, and offices will generate 60% and 90% of voice traffic and data traffic, respectively [6].…”

The femtocell has evolved as a great solution for improving coverage and traffic offloading from the current LTE cellular networks, and it accomplishes the dreams of the high data rate for indoor mobile users. However, the exponentially expanding LTE femtocells cause interference in the network, as they share the same licensed spectrum with a macrocell. To tackle this issue, numerous interference mitigation techniques have been proposed in the literature. In this paper, we proposed an Active Power Control (APC) technique, which not only reduces Inter-Cell Interference (ICI) in a Macro User Equipment (MUE), generated from the downlink transmission power of an inadequately deployed femtocell, but also reduces unnecessary power consumption to achieve a green femtocell network. The simulation results show that the proposed APC technique effectively reduces ICI and optimizes the throughput performance of the MUE. Compared with the existing power control techniques, the APC technique provides a balanced trade-off in attaining necessary Quality-of-Service (QoS) of the Femto User Equipment (FUE) and reducing ICI to the victim MUE existing in the close proximity of the femtocell.
