Femtocells: Design & Application

Author: 

Joe Boccuzzi

This in-depth resource provides comprehensive coverage of femtocells and how they integrate with existing 3G and emerging wireless protocols and standards. Femtocells: Design & Application provides a technical roadmap for migrating to femtocell technology, covering network architecture, media protocols, system performance, and security issues. Detailed architectural diagrams illustrate various deployment options. This is a practical guide to the pioneering technology that enables extended indoor service coverage.

Femtocells: Design & Application covers:

  • The impact on handset design with respect to cost, size, and power consumption
  • Cellular candidate radio access technologies that aid in femtocell deployment, including 3GPP LTE
  • System analysis, including indoor path loss models and 3GPP RF requirements
  • Femtocell network architecture and analysis
  • Registrations, call establishment, call release, and handoff scenarios
  • VoIP and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
  • Media protocols over IP
  • Security vulnerabilities and solutions
  • Managing Quality of Service in IP-based networks offering multimedia solutions
  • 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network architecture
