“…Reduced cost is one of the main drivers for the adoption of femto cells. It was shown in [7] that in urban areas a combination of publicly accessible home base stations or femto cells (randomly deployed by the end user), and macrocells deployed by an operator for area coverage in a planned manner, can result in significant reductions (up to 70 percent in the investigated scenario) of the total annual network costs compared to a pure macro-cellular network deployment. If a wired backhaul is not available, relay nodes can be deployed where the air interface spectrum is used for backhaul connectivity and to provide access to terminals .In this case, the relay node appears as user equipment (UE) to the macro base station and as a regular base station to the UE it serves [3] [8].…”

Long terms evolution (LTE) allows using new and wider spectrum up to 20MHz with high data rates and lower latency. This paper provides analysis of the concept of heterogeneous networks as compared to homogenous networks on a realistic scenario of Mosul city and discusses the need for an alternative deployment model and topology to enhance the performance of network. It is clearly demonstrating the need for using inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) methods to achieve a good performance for network especially at the cell edge. Heterogeneous network enables flexible and low-cost deployments and it has attractive solution for non-uniform traffic distribution or needed a special service in hot-spot.

“…However, they are mainly based on universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) technology. The authors of [8] carry out a financial analysis about pico-cellular home network deployment, which shows benefits up to 70%. In [9], a comparison of deployment options is performed between an only macro-cellular deployment and an only femto-cellular deployment for an office building.…”

In this article, we evaluate the economic gains of a joint deployment of femtocells and macrocells for the provision of long-term evolution mobile broadband services in urban environments. Frequency bands of 2.6 GHz and 900 MHz are analyzed and different parameters related to the business model are considered for a 30% market share operator. Results show important benefits for the case where the service is based on a closed subscriber group access to the femtocells, which the operator does not subsidy: up to 74% for small bandwidth (5 MHz). A business model approach based on open subscriber group access to the femtocell can also be interesting for the operator, although in this case, wholesale subscriber loop costs and femtocells cost are taken into account; thus, savings slightly decrease compared to the previous case. In addition, initial savings are reduced in 8-20% if the operator's existing sites are reused.

“…Because of this, as shown in [1], the average revenues per user have increased for operators that offer enhanced data services. Even so, one important impediment towards this direction is represented by the fact that assuring coverage using the traditional macrocellular networks can be very costly, especially in areas with high density population, which have correspondingly higher demands in terms of service rate [3]. It is estimated that approximately 66% of all voice calls and 90% of all data transfers happen in indoor environments [4], that is why it is crucial to assure a good indoor coverage in this areas, not just for voice services, but also for data which become more and more important.…”
