Signal behaviour in an indoor environment: femtocell over macrocell

Abstract: In this paper, we consider femtocells over macrocell for improved signal, good quality of voice calling, data and Internet use in the indoor environment, where there is poor reception of signals. Mobile networks have become most frequent means of communication in well-developed areas and some other places in the world for communication and business purposes. Therefore, the deployment of femtocells has drawn the attention of mobile industry experts, researcher and other standardization organizations over macrocells. The interesting part of the femtocell is that it improves coverage, enhances the data rate at the indoor environment and more so used for security purpose. We focus on benefits of deployment of femtocells and how femtocells can optimize the total capacity of mobile network where there is poor reception. In this paper, we simulate the signal behavior of femtocell over macrocell in an indoor setting, to illustrate that femtocell improved signal and voice calling in an indoor environment
