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. |
