Abstract :
Successful deployment of femtocells requires intelligent cell planning and introduces some unique challenges. In this letter, an efficient frequency assignment technique is proposed for femtocells considering practical issues such as hand-off, coverage, and interference. Moreover, interference-limited coverage area (ILCA) of a co-channel femtocell base station is calculated based on parameters such as the distance to the macrocell BS, path loss exponents, and transmission power levels.
