What is the Femtocell?

Features

✓ The FS is a small cellular base station for use in a home or small business over a broadband connection.

✓ 4~24 users , 10~30 km/h mobility✓ Better coverage and capacity✓ Improved macro reliability✓ The concept is applicable to all wireless standards,

including UMTS, GSM, CDMA, HSPA and WiMAX as well.

Why FMC ?

✓ FMC(Fixed-Mobile Convergence) : A transition point in the telecommunications industry that will provide to customers by creating seamless services using a combination of fixed broadband and local access.

InternetCellular

Why FMC ?

✓ For Operators• Decreased management

work• Decreased transmission

cost• Decreased churn rate• No need to rent sites• Increased ARPU

✓ For Customers • Improved coverage,

quality and data rate• Potential services• Lower price (Bundle

costs)

Wi-Fi Access VS Femtocell

VS

✓ Widely Deployed Technology (matured)

✓ Cheap Wi-Fi Access Routers

✓ Uses the unlicensed spectrum, which often crowded with other devices and source (Degraded performance)

✓ Better Coverage and Capacity

✓ Encrypted and the automatically switches over to the Femtocells when come in their range

✓ Signal interference with macro tower

✓ Multiple Standards

Femtocell to Femtocell Interference

Femtocell Challenges

Auto Configuration

Femto-AP has to provide a plug-and-play device that can integrate itself into the network without user intervention!!

1. Purchase and registration.

2. Installation and authentication.

3. Auto-configuration of initial parameters.(Frequency for UL & DL, Initial & maximum transmit power .....)

4. Location check.

5. Ongoing self-optimization during operation.

Femtocell Challenges

Indoor Synchronization

✓ To align received signals to minimize multi-access interference.

✓ Macrocell users can hand off to a femtocell or vice versa.

✓ To compensate frequency for inter-carrier interference.

✓ Accurate time reference for TDD systems.
