Tony Q.S. Quek Existing cellular architectures are designed to cater to large Institute for Infocomm Research coverage areas, which do not achieve the expected throughput to Ismail Guvenc ensure seamless mobile broadband in the uplink as users move DOCOMO USA Labs far from the base station. This is due to the increase in the inter- cell interference, as well as constraints on the transmit power of Marios Kountouris Supelec the mobile devices. Another limitation of the conventional macrocell approach is the poor indoor penetration and the Vikram Chandrasekhar presence of dead-spots, which results in drastically reduced Texas Instruments indoor coverage. To address these issues, there has been an Steering Committee increasing interest to deploy relays, distributed antennas and small cellular access points in residential homes, subways and Jeffrey G. Andrews offices. These network architectures with relays, picocells and The University of Texas, Austin femtocells underlaying the macrocell network are commonly Merouane Debbah referred as heterogeneous networks. With these multi-tier Supelec networks, we can potentially improve spatial reuse and coverage David Villasenor by allowing future cellular systems to achieve higher data-rates, UCLA while retaining the seamless connectivity and mobility of cellular networks.
