Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.

Abstract (eng):Mobile broadband technologies are providing the best and most commonly used broadband connectivity in many emerging markets.
In some regions such as Africa, mobile networks provide the only feasible ways for extending the socio-economic benefits of broadband Internet access to the masses.
The use of small cell technologies, like femtocells provide an attractive solution for such areas as femtocells are most cost - effective option for coverage and capacity expansion.
Furthermore, femtocells are operator managed access points which can be easily deployed and operated by the end user.
It is well known that increased densification of cell sites is the most effective means for broadband mobile network capacity and coverage enhancements.
However, cell densification through adding new macrocell sites by operators is usually a costly option.
Therefore, this thesis will investigate methods to achieve mobile broadband capacity and coverage enhancements in low - income informal settlements or slum area, through more cost - effective cell densification using femtocells.
Moreover this thesis will validate the performance gains of small cell concept for the case study through extensive simulations.
The impacts of femtocell in the network, the performance gain from femtocell and gain provided by different deployment strategies have been studied.
Simulation results highlight the potential benefits of using femtocells in the network for extended broadband connectivity.
With the femto increment the network performance increases up to a great extent.
