Abstract :
This work address the channel capacity problem which is the key issue in the new generation mobile broadband network. The simulation framework for analysis of channel capacity solution based on usage of the heterogeneous networks in complex urban and indoor environment is introduced in this work. The impact of heterogeneous network on channel capacity is analyzed based on proposed simulation framework. The multi-parametric statistical channel model is used for simulation of the propagation conditions. The advantages and drawbacks for various deployment strategies of femtocells in presence of macro coverage are investigated. It is shown that shared frequency assignment with open access gives better overall channel capacity for majority of the mobile outdoor and indoor users.
