Performance Measurement Model of Mobile User Connectivity in Femtocell/Macrocell Networks using Fractional Frequency Re-use Scheme

Technologies are traversing to its new dimensions every day. As part of this progression, mobile cellular system is at the summit of its constant advancement. The usage of Femtocells in mobile cellular system has created a massive impact on its architecture. Likewise, the incorporation of femtocells in macrocells for 4G mobile network communication services (like-voice calls, data services, etc.) among mobile stations within few meters has been one of the promising approaches. There is a femto access point (FAP) in Femtocell which handles the authorization of the user around it. Among the three various access methods, FAP allows only the authorized users except the macro cell users in Closed Access Method (CAM). But for Open Access Method (OAM), any type of crossing macrocell user within the radio coverage of femtocell and the femtocell users can get FAP access. To reduce the cross-tier interferences OAM is more efficient, because it deals with both type of users within the femtocell coverage. This paper proposes a performance measurement model for mobile connection probability depending on the mobility factor of mobile users and the communication range in femtocell/ macrocell networks. Furthermore, a derivation has been done to get the optimum result from the outage and connectivity probability under different number of femtocells and mobile users. Finally, to maximum the spectral efficiency for the probable frequency allocation, a Fractional Frequency Re-use scheme among the networks has been proposed.
