Comparison of Performance and Capabilities of Femtocell versus Macrocell

Abstract

With a massive number ofwireless devices being linked to the system, the requirement for very extraordinary data rates and extremely short latency with ultra-high reliability is becoming more and more perplexing. And with such thickness of network nodes, it is a huge task to provide extensive coverage and high quality service in indoor environments. Femtocell, a new auxiliary in the small cell technology, acts as an extension to the present outdoor macrocell with the aim of providing quality indoor coverage. However, huge deployment offemtocell network in the non-appearance of proper network planning and coverage strategy makes it tough to maintain the preferred quality of service. Moreover, the service offemtocell in densely deployed heterogeneous network is faced by interference, undesirable handover and signalling overhead in the system. Femtocells are base stations that are running consuming low power, which are communicating within a licensed spectrum with the intention of providing improved coverage, performance ofvoice and better broadband service. The utilization of cell phones, tablets, and different remote gadgets is winding up progressively common and is driving the requirement for advancements in remote information innovations to give greater limit, higher speed associations, and higher nature of administration. Femtocells can give a helpful method to versatile administrators to offer a superior client encounter and convey broadband administrations inside reliably and dependably for an equivalent setting of use, separations, and obstructions. In this survey report we will conduct a qualitative analysis offemtocell performance in comparison with macrocell. This report will be concluded with a simulation based result as a proofofperformance evaluation.
