Description & Coverage
Description:

Femtocell is currently the most promising technology for supporting the increasing demand of data traffic in wireless networks. Femtocells provide an opportunity for enabling innovative mobile applications and services in home and office environments.

Femtocell Communications and Technologies: Business Opportunities and Deployment Challenges is an extensive and thoroughly revised version of a collection of review and research based chapters on femtocell technology. This work focuses on mobility and security in femtocell, cognitive femtocell, and standardization and deployment scenarios. Several crucial topics addressed in this book are interference mitigation techniques, network integration option, cognitive optimization, and economic incentives to install femtocells that may have a larger impact on their ultimate success. The book is optimized for use by graduate researchers who are familiar with the fundamentals of wireless communication and cellular concepts.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Cognitive Femtocell Networks
  • Femtocell Network Synchronization
  • Femtocell Standardization
  • Femtocells for Public Safety Communication
  • Handover Procedures in Femtocells
  • Interference Mitigation in Femtocell
  • LTE Femtocells
  • OFDMA Femtocells
  • Security and Mobility Aspects of Femtocell Networks
Reviews & Statements

Femtocell is currently the most promising technology that would support increasing demand of data traffic in wireless networks. Femtocells present an innovative opportunity to enable innovative mobile applications and services in in-door based environments such as homes and offices.

Rashid A. Saeed received his PhD in wireless communication from UPM, 2007. He served as senior researcher in MIMOS Berhad and then in Telekom Malaysia R&D where he was awarded the “platinum badge” as one of the best researchers. He is currently in electrical engineering, IIUM. He has published over 80 research papers, tutorials, talks, books, and book chapters on UWB, Femtocell, cognitive radio, and radio resources management. He also holds 2 U.S. patents and has filed 8 more. Saeed is a certified WiMAX engineer (RF and core network). He is also Six Sigma™, certified Black Belt based on DMAIC++ from Motorola University. He is a senior IEEE, IEM Malaysia, and Sigma Xi member. He is one of the contributors to the IEEE-WCET wireless certification, in its earlier stages.
Bharat S. Chaudhari graduated in Industrial Electronics Engineering from Amravati University, India, in 1989 then received his Masters in Electronics and Telecommunication and PhD (Engineering) from Jadavpur University, India, in 1993 and 2000, respectively. Presently, he works as the Principal of the International Institute of Information Technology (I2IT), Pune, India. Prior to this position, he had been the Dean of Planning and Development and Dean of Academics, and was heading the Department of Advanced Networking and Telecommunication at the same Institute. Dr. Chaudhari has more than 22 years of experience in teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate as well as research in the fields of communication engineering, optical networks, wireless networks, and converging telecom technologies. He has authored more than forty research papers in international and national journals and reviewed conference proceedings in the field of optical, wireless, and telecom technologies. He was the recipient of a grant from Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, under the Fast Track Scheme for Young Scientists for pursuing research. He has organized two International Workshops in the field of Low Cost Wireless Technologies in association with the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy, and the International Telecommunication Union – Bureau of Telecom Development (ITU-BDT). Dr. Chaudhari is a Regular Associate to the Wireless Networking Group, ICTP, Italy, for the years 2007 – 2013. He is a Fellow of the Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers, Fellow of the Institution of Engineers (India), and a Senior Member of IEEE. He is a Chairman of IEEE, Pune Section in 2011. His biography is included in a Marquis Who’s Who in Science and Technology for the year 2006.
Rania Abdelhameed received the B.Sc. degree (First Class [HONORS]) in Electronics Engineering (Computer Engineering) from the Sudan University of Science and Technology (SUST), Khartoum, Sudan, in 2001, and the Postgraduate Diploma in Information Technology (IT) (Advanced Networking and Telecommunications) from the International Institute of Information Technology (I2IT), Pune, India, in 2003, and the M.Sc. and PhD. degrees from the University Putra Malaysia (UPM), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2005 and 2010, respectively. In May 2009, she earned the IEEE Wireless Communication Professional (IEEE WCP) certificate of the Wireless Communication Engineering Technology (WCET) Exam. Since 2001, she has been a Teaching Assistant at the Department of Electronics Engineering at the SUST and a part time engineer at the Computer Center, SUST. She has been member of the technical staff of the Broadband Wireless and Blue Nile (E-governance) project, Space Telecom & Cushnet, Khartoum, Sudan, 2003, and technical staff of Web Education (WebEd), UPM, 2005.
