Abstract
The need for the deployment of femtocell at a huge scale in an enterprise environment for increasing the coverage area, raised many serious issues relating future cellular networks, especially for those networks that are dependent on plug and play technology. The wireless network industry has considered the femtocells as an emerging technology for extending its indoor services for the purpose to alleviate coverage in networks. In this paper, we present a decentralized algorithm for coverage optimization of indoor users. The transmit power of femtocells base stations (FBSs) as per requirement of user equipment (UE) and more information being collected is adjusted by proposed algorithm dynamically. The algorithm results in a dynamic upgrading of downlink pilot power as to provide the optimized coverage. Our simulation results reveal superiority of desired algorithm in terms of coverage area.
