Enterprise Femtocell
While enterprise femtocells offer compelling benefits they pose several challenges in interference management. Due to unique characteristics of enterprise environment such as large RF variations inside the building, issues in inter-femto and femto-to-macro interference, special attention needs to be paid in a co-channel, closed access deployment.

Interference Management and Performance Analysis of UMTS/HSPA+ Femtocells
Abstract: Femtocells are low-power cellular base stations that operate in licensed spectrum. They are typically deployed indoors to improve coverage and provide excellent user experience, including high data rates. Cellular operators benefit from reduced infrastructure and operational expenses for capacity upgrades and coverage improvements.

Femtocells – Architecture & Network Aspects
Abstract: Femtocells are small, user-installed base stations that enhance coverage for in-building cellular services. The new paradigm introduced by femtocells also brings unique challenges, namely (i) unplanned deployment, (ii) user-installation, (iii) restricted access, and (iv) inter-operability with existing handsets and infrastructure.
