What is the Femtocell?

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

Features
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 ?
Internet Cellular

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

Why FMC ?
Benets
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

Widely Deployed Technology (matured) Cheap Wi-Fi Access Routers VS 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 Challenges
Auto Conguration
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-conguration 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.
