Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the interference distribution and gain of beamforming in closed access femtocells in downlink of a two-tier HSDPA cellular network. We show through simulations that indoor femtocell deployment leads to a dominant interferer scenario. According to results even simple null steering method based on the scarce codebook of HSDPA transmit diversity mode 1 can be beneficially applied. Performance evaluations are carried out through HSDPA compliant system simulations.
