Abstract :
LTE is an emerging wireless data communication technology to provide broadband ubiquitous Internet access. Femtocells are included in 3GPP since Release 8 to enhance the indoor network coverage and capacity. System level simulation is used for performance evaluation of LTE-Femtocellular networks. Research works on performance optimization could not be justified since there was no common reference simulator to do so until the inception of LTE-Sim. The simulation scenarios for Femtocells in LTE-Sim encompasses two-tier macro-femto scenario but to the best of our knowledge there is no published work on coding and scripting of femtocell scenario in LTE-Sim. In this paper, the development of a femtocell scenario is discussed with simulation outcomes.
