  5. Why not Wi-Fi? • Wi-Fi LANs does not provide a good quality for voice communication because of CSMA MAC. • Femto APs can coordinate their communication in co-operative manner with other femtoswhereas Wi-Fi APs have to compete with other radios operating in un-licensed band. • Wi-Fi APs work in un-licensed band where as femto works in licensed band  So, less interference for Femtos.

FemtoCharacteristics TherangeofFemto (HeNB)is30mforresidentialand300mforenterprise. AhomeFemtocanserveupto7userswhereasenterprise Femto canserveup to50users. FemtoBaseStation (AP) can self-optimizeandmanage its operation. • FemtocanoffloadtrafficfromMacroBS (eNB). • In wi-fi vertical seamless handover is a tough problem to tackle when compared • to horizontal handover that happens in macro to femto.

  7. LTEwithHeNB eNBMacroBS HeNBFemtoBS • HeNB GW will carry the signaling information. • Till Release 10, there wasn’t any X2 interface between HeNB. • HeNB GW is used to reduce the load of MME (Mobility Management Entity) Source:3gppTS36.300

  8. OpenProblems  InterferenceManagement: • 1.Cross-tierinterferencebetweenthemacrocelland • femtocelltiers. • Downlink: • Scenario 1: HeNB sends the downlink traffic to M-MS • Scenario 2: eNB sends the downlink traffic to F-MS • Uplink: • Scenario 1: M-MS sends the uplink traffic to HeNB • Scenario 2: F-MS sends the uplink traffic to eNB Source:InterferenceCoordinationforFemtocells,DocomoEuro-Labs.

  10. RelatedWork • Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR): • The Frequency Reuse pattern used in FFR is reuse three. • The Whole Spectrum band is divided in to W0,W1,W2,W3 • Only a part of the spectrum is used in each Femto cell. • The reason for providing only some part of the spectrum is to avoid • the interference between the neighboring cells (outer region). • Drawback in FFR: • The Spectrum band is not used efficiently in each Femto cell.

  11. Soft Frequency Reuse (SFR): • The frequency reuse pattern used in SFR is Reuse one. • The whole spectrum (w0,w1,w2) can be used in each Femto cell. • The interference between neighboring cells is reduced. • Drawback in SFR: • Spectrum is statically distributed in each femto cell • Load distribution within femto cell is not taken into account during allocation of spectrum to different regions SFR Source:InterferenceManagementinco-channelFemtocell Deployment, Feb 2012

  12. ProposedIdea Toimprovetheefficiencyofspectrum,wepropose DynamicResource Allocation (DRA) scheme. DynamicResource AllocationbetweenMacroandFemto region DynamicResource AllocationinsideFemto (HeNB)region

  13. 1.DynamicResourceAllocationbetweenMacroandFemto • In case if more number of Femtos are deployed, the dynamic resource allocation between Macro and Femto is taken care by femto gateway to ensure scalability. • The reallocation of bandwidth between macro and femto won’t happen frequently. • Depending upon the overall traffic load, the bandwidth will be allocated dynamically between macro and femto regions. • This (planned placement of femtos) is applicable only for enterprise buildings.

  14. 1.DynamicResource AllocationbetweenMacroandFemto Example: TotalBandwidth=20Mhz MacroBandwidth=15Mhz FemtoBandwidth=5Mhz 1MhzBandwidth=6RB(ResourceBlockroughly), soFemtohas30RB. MinimumoneRBshould beallocatedtotherequesteduser. Assume,thenumberofusersinFemtois10 So,minimum2MhzBandwidth (i.e12RB)issufficient.Roughly18RBare unused. NowFemtoBShastoshift2MhzbandwidthdynamicallytoMacroBS,so nowMacroBShas17Mhz.

  15. Dynamic Resource Allocation: • The Base Station should not be rebooted, but the station should be aware of free available resource block in its coverage area. • Mobile device need not re-associate and re-lock to the preamble. • The bandwidth available for femto BS can be divided into multiple separated sub-carriers.

  17. Spectrum Allocation inside Femtobased on CQI and Geographical position (GP) • The division of spectrum region inside HeNB is based on Channel Quality information(CQI) / GP from the indoor users. • The CQI/GP value of the static indoor users will be constant. • The number of users in the indoor is calculated by the scheduler of base station and it depends upon the CQI/GP value range. • Depending upon the number of users in the region, the resource block is allocated dynamically.

  18. Spectrum Allocation inside Femto • In our work, we consider deploying Femtos in enterprise buildings and they are done in hexagonal grid manner. • The reason for spectrum division in HeNB is to avoid the interference between the neighboring cells.
