Abstract

We propose an analytical framework of significant influence of deployment of femto base stations (FBSs) in a dual-tier network constituted of macro base stations (MBSs). As because of uncoordinated deployment, FBSs results in destructive interference to MBSs and vice versa. But, throughput efficiency of indoor (femtocell) and outdoor (macrocell) environment substantially increases due to an optimum reutilization of available spectrum. The quality of service is further getting optimized in terms of throughput and network coverage because of incorporation of steerable beamforming. Finally, the effectiveness of the scheme is verified by extensive matlab simulation.
