Abstract :
Femtocell is envisioned as a promising solution for indoor wireless communications. Considering that the major cause of interference in OFDMA is that femtocells are installed in an ad-hoc manner; cognitive radios promise to provide the intelligence and flexibility necessary for the success of femtocells. In this paper, we propose a new distributed resource allocation mechanism to deal with the interference between nearby femtocells in Enterprise environments.
