femtocells:technologies and development

In recent years, CWiND has been funded by the EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Science Research Council) and the European Commission to research femtocells and indoor radio network design. These projects equipped us with a good understanding of femtocell technologies and the challenging issues arising from deployment of femtocells. It is also fortunate that CWiND could dedicate a large amount of human resources from February to June 2009 to the writing of this very much needed book. In this book, the method used to study femtocel l deployment is computer-aided simulation rather than trial based. This method is more convenient and more cost effective. The book is written in a tutorial style. We believe that it suits a wide range of readers, e.g., RF engineers from operators, R&D engineers from telecom vendors, academics and researchers from universities, consultants for wireless networks and employees from regulatory bodies. l deployment is computer-aided simulation rather than trial based.
