==Introduction==
A femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) and typically supports 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage inside of your home - especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable - without the need for expensive cellular towers. It also decreases the backhaul costs since it routes your mobile phone traffic through the IP network. [http://www.tatarasystems.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/444 Source]

A femtocell is sometimes referred to as a “home base station”, “access point base station”, “3G access point”, “small cellular base station” and “personal 2G-3G base station”.

Femtocells are low-power wireless access points that operate in licensed spectrum to connect standard mobile devices to a mobile operator’s network using residential DSL or cable broadband connections.

|Networking architectures have grown increasingly complex in communication environments. Femtocells have gained recent notoriety due to their capabilities. For many femto scenarios, connectivity and/or access protocols can pose a number of problems for end users.
|A method includes evaluating geolocation information associated with a mobile node and using the geolocation information to identify a femtocell capable of providing network access to the mobile node. A primary scrambling code is provided to the mobile node for operation in an idle mode. The method also includes communicating a secondary scrambling code to initiate access to the femtocell by the mobile node when operating in an active mode.

|Call admission priority control determination device and mobile wireless communication system
|When more than one terminal is present in the same cell and these terminals communicate with one base station, the wireless resources of that base station are shared among the plural terminals. As a result, the communication rate becomes lower than when communication is performed by only one terminal. Thus, there is a problem that the use of the femtocell base station by other users deteriorates the quality of communication by specified terminal users such as the femtocell base station administrator.
|It can be solved by a call admission priority control determination device including a registration table containing base station ID numbers of base stations and an ID number of a high-priority first terminal, and a call admission determination unit that determines call admission with reference to the registration table, wherein, when a connection request or a switching-over request for a third terminal has been received from a base station control device, the call admission determination unit, on the basis of this request, references the registration table and determines whether or not call admission for the third terminal is to be permitted.

==Introduction==
A femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) and typically supports 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage inside of your home - especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable - without the need for expensive cellular towers. It also decreases the backhaul costs since it routes your mobile phone traffic through the IP network. [http://www.tatarasystems.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/444 Source]

A femtocell is sometimes referred to as a “home base station”, “access point base station”, “3G access point”, “small cellular base station” and “personal 2G-3G base station”.

[[Image:Housefemtocell.jpg|thumb|1000px|centre|[http://www.femtoforum.org/femto/aboutfemtocells.php Femtocell]]]

Femtocells are low-power wireless access points that operate in licensed spectrum to connect standard mobile devices to a mobile operator’s network using residential DSL or cable broadband connections.

|System and method for providing access in a network environment
|Networking architectures have grown increasingly complex in communication environments. Femtocells have gained recent notoriety due to their capabilities. For many femto scenarios, connectivity and/or access protocols can pose a number of problems for end users.
|A method includes evaluating geolocation information associated with a mobile node and using the geolocation information to identify a femtocell capable of providing network access to the mobile node. A primary scrambling code is provided to the mobile node for operation in an idle mode. The method also includes communicating a secondary scrambling code to initiate access to the femtocell by the mobile node when operating in an active mode.

|Call admission priority control determination device and mobile wireless communication system
|When more than one terminal is present in the same cell and these terminals communicate with one base station, the wireless resources of that base station are shared among the plural terminals. As a result, the communication rate becomes lower than when communication is performed by only one terminal. Thus, there is a problem that the use of the femtocell base station by other users deteriorates the quality of communication by specified terminal users such as the femtocell base station administrator.
|It can be solved by a call admission priority control determination device including a registration table containing base station ID numbers of base stations and an ID number of a high-priority first terminal, and a call admission determination unit that determines call admission with reference to the registration table, wherein, when a connection request or a switching-over request for a third terminal has been received from a base station control device, the call admission determination unit, on the basis of this request, references the registration table and determines whether or not call admission for the third terminal is to be permitted.

|Access control method for cellular networks comprising femto-cells
|It is not necessary that the femto system may know at each time the cell locations of all user equipments camping in its area because it will be unable to track those user terminals entering the femto-cell while in the Idle Mode, and also taking into account the fact that up to 6 minutes might be necessary for the user terminal to trigger its periodic location update. Because of this it would not be possible to distribute paging messages from the Core Network to individual femto-cells without running the risk that paging may not be received by the user equipment addressed thereby.
|A method is provided to control access of user terminals to a femto system which includes Non Access Stratum (NAS) Mobility Management (MM) messages as well as Access Stratum (AS) Radio Resource Control (RRC) messages.

|Using global cell identifier for handover in a combined femto-cell/macro-cell environment
|When large number of femto cells compared to the number of macro cells is present, it is not possible to ensure that all the femto cells within the coverage area of a macro cell have individual and different frequencies and scrambling codes. So in a combined femto cell-macro cell environment, the macro cell RNC will be unable to determine, from the measurement report received from the UE, which cell (either a femto cell or macro cell) was measured.
|A method is provided which includes a network element for a cellular communication system, network element comprises a receiver for receiving a message that comprises a measurement report from a wireless communication unit. The network element further comprises signal processing logic, operably coupled to the receiver, for processing the received measurement report and extracting a global cell identifier therefrom, so the inventive concept provides an improvement to the use of measurement reports, which may be used to facilitate handover between cells in a cellular communication system.

|bgcolor = "#DBE5F1"|Because of the fact that femtocells can access a resource, sufficiently and locally, to known users with higher throughput, considerable attention has been devoted to the potential cognitive femtocell to allow for higher capacity and intelligent coverage, with guaranteed quality of service (QoS) for future indoor service. Cognitive femtocell is presented as a solution for spectrum-scarcity problems and local-convergence demands for indoor network applications. To control the data packet delivery between the macrocell and cognitive femtocell, A developed gateway broadband router based on novel cross-layer management optimization is used.

|bgcolor = "#DBE5F1"|Since each femtocell is served by a home base station (HBS) that is connected to the macrocell base station (BS) via an unreliable network access link, such as DSL followed by the Internet, A scenario with a single macrocell and a single femtocell is presented, and is then extended to include multiple macrocells and femtocells, both with standard single-cell processing and with multicell processing (or network MIMO). Two main issues are presented regarding uplink channel: (i) Interference management between femto and macrocells; (ii) Robustness to uncertainties on the quality of the femtocell (HBSto-BS) access link.

LTE

2011-06-14T07:04:42Z

Ram.narayan: /* Major companies for low cost IP for MIMO */

This report presents a brief summary about Dolcera's capabilities in working with standards, with LTE as an example. The taxonomy covers most of the important aspects of LTE. Also presented are examples of mapping patents to standards going to the detail of graphical analysis. Analysis of IPR declarations made to ETSI, and documents uncovered by Dolcera search is also provided.

==Rationale==
* LTE is the most suited mobile technology as it provides higher data rates required for the future and is an improvement over the established GSM/EDGE/HSPA systems
* LTE is promoted by major corporates as the technology enabling future communication
* The following advantages are expected to be obtained with the realization of LTE
** Reduced cost per bit
** Increased service provisioning - more services at lower cost with better user experience
** Flexibility of use of existing and new frequency bands
** Simplified architecture, Open interfaces
** Allow for reasonable terminal power consumption

==Background description==

LTE (Long Term Evolution), is the latest standard in the mobile network technology that came into existence because of the growing needs of faster data rates. It is a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), which realized this technology. LTE is an advancement to previously realized technologies such as GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSxPA etc. Although LTE is often marketed as 4G, first-release LTE is actually a 3.9G technology since it does not fully comply with the IMT Advanced 4G requirements.

LTE-Advanced has been granted 4G compliance given the significant improvement they provide over 3G technologies [http://www.itu.int/net/pressoffice/press_releases/2010/48.aspx]

Voice traffic will be supported mainly as Voice over IP (VoIP) enabling better integration with other multimedia services. LTE is being designed to be a high data rate and low latency system. LTE is also aimed at minimizing cost and power consumption while ensuring backward-compatibility and a cost effective migration from UMTS systems.

==Technical details==

===Performance requirements===
LTE is expected to support different types of services including web browsing, FTP, video streaming, VoIP, online gaming, real time video, push-to-talk and push-to-view. Therefore, it is being designed to be a high data rate and low latency system as indicated by the key performance criteria shown below.

===LTE frame structure===

In order to maintain synchronization and manage different types of information exchange that need to be carried between the base-station or eNodeB and the User Equipment (UE), LTE system has a defined LTE frame and sub frame structure for the E-UTRA or Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access

There are two types of LTE frame structure:

* '''Type 1: FDD systems'''
** The basic type 1 LTE frame has an overall length of 10 ms. This is then divided into a total of 20 individual slots. LTE sub frames then consist of two slots - in other words there are ten LTE sub frames within a frame.

[[Image:type1f.jpg|thumb|centre|600px|[http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/lte-long-term-evolution/lte-frame-subframe-structure.php LTE frame structure]]]

* '''Type 2: TDD systems'''
** The frame structure for the type 2 frames used on LTE TDD is somewhat different. The 10 ms frame comprises two half frames, each 5 ms long. The LTE half-frames are further split into five sub frames, each 1ms long.

[[Image:type2f.jpg|thumb|centre|600px|[http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/lte-long-term-evolution/lte-frame-subframe-structure.php LTE frame structure]]]

* The subframes may be divided into standard sub frames of special sub frames. The special sub frames consist of three fields
** DwPTS - Downlink Pilot Time Slot
** GP - Guard Period
** UpPTS - Uplink Pilot Time Slot.

==LTE enabling technologies==

* '''OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access)'''
** It is used in the downlink communication of LTE as it can support high data rates
* '''SC-FDMA (Single Carrier FDMA)'''
** It is used in the uplink communication of LTE as it helps in reducing terminal power consumption
* '''MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output)'''
** Helps in obtaining increased data rates with usage of many antennas.
* '''System Architecture Evolution(SAE)'''
** New core network architecture to support the high-throughput / low latency LTE access system
** Simplified network architecture
** All IP network
** All services are via PS domain only, No CS domain
** Support mobility between multiple heterogeneous access system
* '''Fractional frequency reuse'''
** Helps in reusing the frequency so that spectral efficiency can be improved

==MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output)==

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technologies introduced in LTE such as spatial multiplexing, transmit diversity, and beamforming are key components for providing higher peak rate at a better system efficiency, which are essential for supporting future broadband data service over wireless links.In Long Term Evolution (LTE), MIMO technologies have been widely used to improve downlink peak rate, cell coverage, as well as average cell throughput.

To achieve this diverse set of objectives, LTE adopted various MIMO technologies including transmit diversity, single user (SU)-MIMO, multiuser (MU)-MIMO, closed-loop rank-1 precoding, and dedicated beamforming. [http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/2009/302092.html MIMO in LTE]

|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|Rate adaptive transmission scheme for MIMO systems
|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|A rate adaptive transmission scheme for MIMO systems, which can transmit a variable number of data symbol streams, provide transmit diversity for each data symbol stream, and fully utilize the total transmit power of the system and the full power of each antenna. In one method, at least one data symbol stream is received for transmission from a plurality of antennas. Each data symbol stream is scaled with a respective weight corresponding to the amount of transmit power allocated to that stream. The scaled data symbol stream(s) are multiplied with a transmit basis matrix to provide a plurality of transmit symbol streams for the plurality of antennas. The transmit basis matrix (e.g., a Walsh-Hadamard matrix or a DFT matrix) is defined such that each data symbol stream is transmitted from all antennas and each transmit symbol stream is transmitted at (or near) the full power for the associated antenna.

|Preamble design for multiple input--multiple output (MIMO), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system
|One or more preambles are inserted into frames of Orthogonal Frequency Multiplexing (OFDM)-Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) signals. The preamble is received by the antennas of a receiver, decoded and compared to known values to provide synchronization, framing, channels estimation, offsets and other corrections to the transmitted signal.

|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|Scattered pilot pattern and channel estimation method for MIMO-OFDM systems
|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|A method and apparatus are provided for reducing the number of pilot symbols within a MIMO-OFDM communication system, and for improving channel estimation within such a system. For each transmitting antenna in an OFDM transmitter, pilot symbols are encoded so as to be unique to the transmitting antenna. The encoded pilot symbols are then inserted into an OFDM frame to form a diamond lattice, the diamond lattices for the different transmitting antennae using the same frequencies but being offset from each other by a single symbol in the time domain. At the OFDM receiver, a channel response is estimated for a symbol central to each diamond of the diamond lattice using a two-dimensional interpolation. The estimated channel responses are smoothed in the frequency domain. The channel responses of remaining symbols are then estimated by interpolation in the frequency domain.

|System access and synchronization methods for MIMO OFDM communications systems and physical layer packet and preamble design
|A method and apparatus are provided for performing acquisition, synchronization and cell selection within an MIMO-OFDM communication system. A coarse synchronization is performed to determine a searching window. A fine synchronization is then performed by measuring correlations between subsets of signal samples, whose first signal sample lies within the searching window, and known values. The correlations are performed in the frequency domain of the received signal. In a multiple-output OFDM system, each antenna of the OFDM transmitter has a unique known value. The known value is transmitted as pairs of consecutive pilot symbols, each pair of pilot symbols being transmitted at the same subset of sub-carrier frequencies within the OFDM frame.

|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|MIMO communications
|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|The present invention allows a wireless communication system, such as a base station, to select N antennas from an associated group of M antennas for transmitting multiple streams of data to a given user. Based on the channel conditions between the M antennas of the wireless communication system and the multiple antennas at the receiver, the N antennas to use for transmission are selected to enhance channel capacity, signal-to-noise ratios, or a combination thereof. The channel conditions are measured at the receiver, and may be sent back to the wireless communication system for processing or may be processed at the receiver, wherein instructions are transmitted back to the wireless communication system to control antenna selection.

Ram.narayan:

LTE

2011-06-14T07:03:06Z

Ram.narayan: /* Major companies for low cost IP for MIMO */

This report presents a brief summary about Dolcera's capabilities in working with standards, with LTE as an example. The taxonomy covers most of the important aspects of LTE. Also presented are examples of mapping patents to standards going to the detail of graphical analysis. Analysis of IPR declarations made to ETSI, and documents uncovered by Dolcera search is also provided.

==Rationale==
* LTE is the most suited mobile technology as it provides higher data rates required for the future and is an improvement over the established GSM/EDGE/HSPA systems
* LTE is promoted by major corporates as the technology enabling future communication
* The following advantages are expected to be obtained with the realization of LTE
** Reduced cost per bit
** Increased service provisioning - more services at lower cost with better user experience
** Flexibility of use of existing and new frequency bands
** Simplified architecture, Open interfaces
** Allow for reasonable terminal power consumption

==Background description==

LTE (Long Term Evolution), is the latest standard in the mobile network technology that came into existence because of the growing needs of faster data rates. It is a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), which realized this technology. LTE is an advancement to previously realized technologies such as GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSxPA etc. Although LTE is often marketed as 4G, first-release LTE is actually a 3.9G technology since it does not fully comply with the IMT Advanced 4G requirements.

LTE-Advanced has been granted 4G compliance given the significant improvement they provide over 3G technologies [http://www.itu.int/net/pressoffice/press_releases/2010/48.aspx]
[[Image:lte-evolve.jpg|centre|500px|thumb|[http://www.4gamericas.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=page&sectionid=249 '''LTE Evolution''' ]]]

Voice traffic will be supported mainly as Voice over IP (VoIP) enabling better integration with other multimedia services. LTE is being designed to be a high data rate and low latency system. LTE is also aimed at minimizing cost and power consumption while ensuring backward-compatibility and a cost effective migration from UMTS systems.
[http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/lte-long-term-evolution/3g-lte-basics.php LTE tutorial]

==Technical details==

===Performance requirements===
LTE is expected to support different types of services including web browsing, FTP, video streaming, VoIP, online gaming, real time video, push-to-talk and push-to-view. Therefore, it is being designed to be a high data rate and low latency system as indicated by the key performance criteria shown below.

[[Image:lte-p.jpg|800px|thumb|centre|[http://www.3gpp.org/LTE '''Fig.1 LTE Release 8 Major Parameters Fig.2 LTE-Release 8 User Equipment Categories ''']]]

==LTE architecture==
[[Image:arch.jpg|700px|thumb|centre|[http://www.ericsson.com/res/docs/whitepapers/lte_overview.pdf LTE architecture]]]

===Protocol stack===
[[Image:prot.jpg|600px|thumb|centre|[http://www.ericsson.com/res/thecompany/docs/journal_conference_papers/wireless_access/IEEE-Com-Mag-April-2009-LTE-SAE-Rel-8-link-layer-design.pdf Protocol stack of LTE]]]

===Data flow ===
The data flow through protocol stack can be shown as

===LTE frame structure===

In order to maintain synchronization and manage different types of information exchange that need to be carried between the base-station or eNodeB and the User Equipment (UE), LTE system has a defined LTE frame and sub frame structure for the E-UTRA or Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access

There are two types of LTE frame structure:

* '''Type 1: FDD systems'''
** The basic type 1 LTE frame has an overall length of 10 ms. This is then divided into a total of 20 individual slots. LTE sub frames then consist of two slots - in other words there are ten LTE sub frames within a frame.

[[Image:type1f.jpg|thumb|centre|600px|[http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/lte-long-term-evolution/lte-frame-subframe-structure.php LTE frame structure]]]

* '''Type 2: TDD systems'''
** The frame structure for the type 2 frames used on LTE TDD is somewhat different. The 10 ms frame comprises two half frames, each 5 ms long. The LTE half-frames are further split into five sub frames, each 1ms long.

[[Image:type2f.jpg|thumb|centre|600px|[http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/lte-long-term-evolution/lte-frame-subframe-structure.php LTE frame structure]]]

* The subframes may be divided into standard sub frames of special sub frames. The special sub frames consist of three fields
** DwPTS - Downlink Pilot Time Slot
** GP - Guard Period
** UpPTS - Uplink Pilot Time Slot.

==LTE enabling technologies==

* '''OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access)'''
** It is used in the downlink communication of LTE as it can support high data rates
* '''SC-FDMA (Single Carrier FDMA)'''
** It is used in the uplink communication of LTE as it helps in reducing terminal power consumption
* '''MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output)'''
** Helps in obtaining increased data rates with usage of many antennas.
* '''System Architecture Evolution(SAE)'''
** New core network architecture to support the high-throughput / low latency LTE access system
** Simplified network architecture
** All IP network
** All services are via PS domain only, No CS domain
** Support mobility between multiple heterogeneous access system
* '''Fractional frequency reuse'''
** Helps in reusing the frequency so that spectral efficiency can be improved

==MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output)==

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technologies introduced in LTE such as spatial multiplexing, transmit diversity, and beamforming are key components for providing higher peak rate at a better system efficiency, which are essential for supporting future broadband data service over wireless links.In Long Term Evolution (LTE), MIMO technologies have been widely used to improve downlink peak rate, cell coverage, as well as average cell throughput.

To achieve this diverse set of objectives, LTE adopted various MIMO technologies including transmit diversity, single user (SU)-MIMO, multiuser (MU)-MIMO, closed-loop rank-1 precoding, and dedicated beamforming. [http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/2009/302092.html MIMO in LTE]

|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|A rate adaptive transmission scheme for MIMO systems, which can transmit a variable number of data symbol streams, provide transmit diversity for each data symbol stream, and fully utilize the total transmit power of the system and the full power of each antenna. In one method, at least one data symbol stream is received for transmission from a plurality of antennas. Each data symbol stream is scaled with a respective weight corresponding to the amount of transmit power allocated to that stream. The scaled data symbol stream(s) are multiplied with a transmit basis matrix to provide a plurality of transmit symbol streams for the plurality of antennas. The transmit basis matrix (e.g., a Walsh-Hadamard matrix or a DFT matrix) is defined such that each data symbol stream is transmitted from all antennas and each transmit symbol stream is transmitted at (or near) the full power for the associated antenna.

|Preamble design for multiple input--multiple output (MIMO), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system
|One or more preambles are inserted into frames of Orthogonal Frequency Multiplexing (OFDM)-Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) signals.

|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|A method and apparatus are provided for reducing the number of pilot symbols within a MIMO-OFDM communication system, and for improving channel estimation within such a system. For each transmitting antenna in an OFDM transmitter, pilot symbols are encoded so as to be unique to the transmitting antenna. The encoded pilot symbols are then inserted into an OFDM frame to form a diamond lattice, the diamond lattices for the different transmitting antennae using the same frequencies but being offset from each other by a single symbol in the time domain. At the OFDM receiver, a channel response is estimated for a symbol central to each diamond of the diamond lattice using a two-dimensional interpolation. The estimated channel responses are smoothed in the frequency domain. The channel responses of remaining symbols are then estimated by interpolation in the frequency domain.

|System access and synchronization methods for MIMO OFDM communications systems and physical layer packet and preamble design
|A method and apparatus are provided for performing acquisition, synchronization and cell selection within an MIMO-OFDM communication system. A coarse synchronization is performed to determine a searching window. A fine synchronization is then performed by measuring correlations between subsets of signal samples, whose first signal sample lies within the searching window, and known values. The correlations are performed in the frequency domain of the received signal. In a multiple-output OFDM system, each antenna of the OFDM transmitter has a unique known value. The known value is transmitted as pairs of consecutive pilot symbols, each pair of pilot symbols being transmitted at the same subset of sub-carrier frequencies within the OFDM frame.

Based on the channel conditions between the M antennas of the wireless communication system and the multiple antennas at the receiver, the N antennas to use for transmission are selected to enhance channel capacity, signal-to-noise ratios, or a combination thereof. The channel conditions are measured at the receiver, and may be sent back to the wireless communication system for processing or may be processed at the receiver, wherein instructions are transmitted back to the wireless communication system to control antenna selection.

Ram.narayan: /* Major companies for low cost IP for MIMO */

This report presents a brief summary about Dolcera's capabilities in working with standards, with LTE as an example. The taxonomy covers most of the important aspects of LTE. Also presented are examples of mapping patents to standards going to the detail of graphical analysis. Analysis of IPR declarations made to ETSI, and documents uncovered by Dolcera search is also provided.

==Rationale==
* LTE is the most suited mobile technology as it provides higher data rates required for the future and is an improvement over the established GSM/EDGE/HSPA systems
* LTE is promoted by major corporates as the technology enabling future communication
* The following advantages are expected to be obtained with the realization of LTE
** Reduced cost per bit
** Increased service provisioning - more services at lower cost with better user experience
** Flexibility of use of existing and new frequency bands
** Simplified architecture, Open interfaces
** Allow for reasonable terminal power consumption

==Background description==

LTE (Long Term Evolution), is the latest standard in the mobile network technology that came into existence because of the growing needs of faster data rates. It is a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), which realized this technology. LTE is an advancement to previously realized technologies such as GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSxPA etc. Although LTE is often marketed as 4G, first-release LTE is actually a 3.9G technology since it does not fully comply with the IMT Advanced 4G requirements.

LTE-Advanced has been granted 4G compliance given the significant improvement they provide over 3G technologies [http://www.itu.int/net/pressoffice/press_releases/2010/48.aspx]
[[Image:lte-evolve.jpg|centre|500px|thumb|[http://www.4gamericas.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=page&sectionid=249 '''LTE Evolution''' ]]]

Voice traffic will be supported mainly as Voice over IP (VoIP) enabling better integration with other multimedia services. LTE is being designed to be a high data rate and low latency system. LTE is also aimed at minimizing cost and power consumption while ensuring backward-compatibility and a cost effective migration from UMTS systems.
[http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/lte-long-term-evolution/3g-lte-basics.php LTE tutorial]

==Technical details==

===Performance requirements===
LTE is expected to support different types of services including web browsing, FTP, video streaming, VoIP, online gaming, real time video, push-to-talk and push-to-view. Therefore, it is being designed to be a high data rate and low latency system as indicated by the key performance criteria shown below.

==LTE architecture==

===Protocol stack===
[[Image:prot.jpg|600px|thumb|centre|[http://www.ericsson.com/res/thecompany/docs/journal_conference_papers/wireless_access/IEEE-Com-Mag-April-2009-LTE-SAE-Rel-8-link-layer-design.pdf Protocol stack of LTE]]]

===Data flow ===
The data flow through protocol stack can be shown as

===LTE frame structure===

In order to maintain synchronization and manage different types of information exchange that need to be carried between the base-station or eNodeB and the User Equipment (UE), LTE system has a defined LTE frame and sub frame structure for the E-UTRA or Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access

There are two types of LTE frame structure:

* '''Type 1: FDD systems'''
** The basic type 1 LTE frame has an overall length of 10 ms. This is then divided into a total of 20 individual slots. LTE sub frames then consist of two slots - in other words there are ten LTE sub frames within a frame.

[[Image:type1f.jpg|thumb|centre|600px|[http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/lte-long-term-evolution/lte-frame-subframe-structure.php LTE frame structure]]]

* '''Type 2: TDD systems'''
** The frame structure for the type 2 frames used on LTE TDD is somewhat different. The 10 ms frame comprises two half frames, each 5 ms long. The LTE half-frames are further split into five sub frames, each 1ms long.

[[Image:type2f.jpg|thumb|centre|600px|[http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/lte-long-term-evolution/lte-frame-subframe-structure.php LTE frame structure]]]

* The subframes may be divided into standard sub frames of special sub frames. The special sub frames consist of three fields
** DwPTS - Downlink Pilot Time Slot
** GP - Guard Period
** UpPTS - Uplink Pilot Time Slot.

==LTE enabling technologies==

* '''OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access)'''
** It is used in the downlink communication of LTE as it can support high data rates
* '''SC-FDMA (Single Carrier FDMA)'''
** It is used in the uplink communication of LTE as it helps in reducing terminal power consumption
* '''MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output)'''
** Helps in obtaining increased data rates with usage of many antennas.
* '''System Architecture Evolution(SAE)'''
** New core network architecture to support the high-throughput / low latency LTE access system
** Simplified network architecture
** All IP network
** All services are via PS domain only, No CS domain
** Support mobility between multiple heterogeneous access system
* '''Fractional frequency reuse'''
** Helps in reusing the frequency so that spectral efficiency can be improved

==MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output)==

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technologies introduced in LTE such as spatial multiplexing, transmit diversity, and beamforming are key components for providing higher peak rate at a better system efficiency, which are essential for supporting future broadband data service over wireless links.In Long Term Evolution (LTE), MIMO technologies have been widely used to improve downlink peak rate, cell coverage, as well as average cell throughput.

To achieve this diverse set of objectives, LTE adopted various MIMO technologies including transmit diversity, single user (SU)-MIMO, multiuser (MU)-MIMO, closed-loop rank-1 precoding, and dedicated beamforming. [http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/2009/302092.html MIMO in LTE]

|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|A rate adaptive transmission scheme for MIMO systems, which can transmit a variable number of data symbol streams, provide transmit diversity for each data symbol stream, and fully utilize the total transmit power of the system and the full power of each antenna. In one method, at least one data symbol stream is received for transmission from a plurality of antennas. Each data symbol stream is scaled with a respective weight corresponding to the amount of transmit power allocated to that stream. The scaled data symbol stream(s) are multiplied with a transmit basis matrix to provide a plurality of transmit symbol streams for the plurality of antennas. The transmit basis matrix (e.g., a Walsh-Hadamard matrix or a DFT matrix) is defined such that each data symbol stream is transmitted from all antennas and each transmit symbol stream is transmitted at (or near) the full power for the associated antenna.

|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|A method and apparatus are provided for reducing the number of pilot symbols within a MIMO-OFDM communication system, and for improving channel estimation within such a system. For each transmitting antenna in an OFDM transmitter, pilot symbols are encoded so as to be unique to the transmitting antenna. The encoded pilot symbols are then inserted into an OFDM frame to form a diamond lattice, the diamond lattices for the different transmitting antennae using the same frequencies but being offset from each other by a single symbol in the time domain. At the OFDM receiver, a channel response is estimated for a symbol central to each diamond of the diamond lattice using a two-dimensional interpolation. The estimated channel responses are smoothed in the frequency domain. The channel responses of remaining symbols are then estimated by interpolation in the frequency domain.

|System access and synchronization methods for MIMO OFDM communications systems and physical layer packet and preamble design
|A method and apparatus are provided for performing acquisition, synchronization and cell selection within an MIMO-OFDM communication system. A coarse synchronization is performed to determine a searching window. A fine synchronization is then performed by measuring correlations between subsets of signal samples, whose first signal sample lies within the searching window, and known values. The correlations are performed in the frequency domain of the received signal. In a multiple-output OFDM system, each antenna of the OFDM transmitter has a unique known value. The known value is transmitted as pairs of consecutive pilot symbols, each pair of pilot symbols being transmitted at the same subset of sub-carrier frequencies within the OFDM frame.

Ram.narayan: /* Major players in the non-ETSI list for MIMO */

This report presents a brief summary about Dolcera's capabilities in working with standards, with LTE as an example. The taxonomy covers most of the important aspects of LTE. Also presented are examples of mapping patents to standards going to the detail of graphical analysis. Analysis of IPR declarations made to ETSI, and documents uncovered by Dolcera search is also provided.

==Rationale==
* LTE is the most suited mobile technology as it provides higher data rates required for the future and is an improvement over the established GSM/EDGE/HSPA systems
* LTE is promoted by major corporates as the technology enabling future communication
* The following advantages are expected to be obtained with the realization of LTE
** Reduced cost per bit
** Increased service provisioning - more services at lower cost with better user experience
** Flexibility of use of existing and new frequency bands
** Simplified architecture, Open interfaces
** Allow for reasonable terminal power consumption

==Background description==

LTE (Long Term Evolution), is the latest standard in the mobile network technology that came into existence because of the growing needs of faster data rates. It is a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), which realized this technology. LTE is an advancement to previously realized technologies such as GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSxPA etc. Although LTE is often marketed as 4G, first-release LTE is actually a 3.9G technology since it does not fully comply with the IMT Advanced 4G requirements.

LTE-Advanced has been granted 4G compliance given the significant improvement they provide over 3G technologies [http://www.itu.int/net/pressoffice/press_releases/2010/48.aspx]
[[Image:lte-evolve.jpg|centre|500px|thumb|[http://www.4gamericas.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=page&sectionid=249 '''LTE Evolution''' ]]]

Voice traffic will be supported mainly as Voice over IP (VoIP) enabling better integration with other multimedia services. LTE is being designed to be a high data rate and low latency system. LTE is also aimed at minimizing cost and power consumption while ensuring backward-compatibility and a cost effective migration from UMTS systems.

==Technical details==

===Performance requirements===
LTE is expected to support different types of services including web browsing, FTP, video streaming, VoIP, online gaming, real time video, push-to-talk and push-to-view. Therefore, it is being designed to be a high data rate and low latency system as indicated by the key performance criteria shown below.

===LTE frame structure===

In order to maintain synchronization and manage different types of information exchange that need to be carried between the base-station or eNodeB and the User Equipment (UE), LTE system has a defined LTE frame and sub frame structure for the E-UTRA or Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access

There are two types of LTE frame structure:

* '''Type 1: FDD systems'''
** The basic type 1 LTE frame has an overall length of 10 ms. This is then divided into a total of 20 individual slots. LTE sub frames then consist of two slots - in other words there are ten LTE sub frames within a frame.

[[Image:type1f.jpg|thumb|centre|600px|[http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/lte-long-term-evolution/lte-frame-subframe-structure.php LTE frame structure]]]

* '''Type 2: TDD systems'''
** The frame structure for the type 2 frames used on LTE TDD is somewhat different. The 10 ms frame comprises two half frames, each 5 ms long. The LTE half-frames are further split into five sub frames, each 1ms long.

[[Image:type2f.jpg|thumb|centre|600px|[http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/lte-long-term-evolution/lte-frame-subframe-structure.php LTE frame structure]]]

* The subframes may be divided into standard sub frames of special sub frames. The special sub frames consist of three fields
** DwPTS - Downlink Pilot Time Slot
** GP - Guard Period
** UpPTS - Uplink Pilot Time Slot.

==LTE enabling technologies==

* '''OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access)'''
** It is used in the downlink communication of LTE as it can support high data rates
* '''SC-FDMA (Single Carrier FDMA)'''
** It is used in the uplink communication of LTE as it helps in reducing terminal power consumption
* '''MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output)'''
** Helps in obtaining increased data rates with usage of many antennas.
* '''System Architecture Evolution(SAE)'''
** New core network architecture to support the high-throughput / low latency LTE access system
** Simplified network architecture
** All IP network
** All services are via PS domain only, No CS domain
** Support mobility between multiple heterogeneous access system
* '''Fractional frequency reuse'''
** Helps in reusing the frequency so that spectral efficiency can be improved

==MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output)==

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technologies introduced in LTE such as spatial multiplexing, transmit diversity, and beamforming are key components for providing higher peak rate at a better system efficiency, which are essential for supporting future broadband data service over wireless links.In Long Term Evolution (LTE), MIMO technologies have been widely used to improve downlink peak rate, cell coverage, as well as average cell throughput.

To achieve this diverse set of objectives, LTE adopted various MIMO technologies including transmit diversity, single user (SU)-MIMO, multiuser (MU)-MIMO, closed-loop rank-1 precoding, and dedicated beamforming. [http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/2009/302092.html MIMO in LTE]

|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|Rate adaptive transmission scheme for MIMO systems
|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|A rate adaptive transmission scheme for MIMO systems, which can transmit a variable number of data symbol streams, provide transmit diversity for each data symbol stream, and fully utilize the total transmit power of the system and the full power of each antenna. In one method, at least one data symbol stream is received for transmission from a plurality of antennas. Each data symbol stream is scaled with a respective weight corresponding to the amount of transmit power allocated to that stream. The scaled data symbol stream(s) are multiplied with a transmit basis matrix to provide a plurality of transmit symbol streams for the plurality of antennas. The transmit basis matrix (e.g., a Walsh-Hadamard matrix or a DFT matrix) is defined such that each data symbol stream is transmitted from all antennas and each transmit symbol stream is transmitted at (or near) the full power for the associated antenna.

|Preamble design for multiple input--multiple output (MIMO), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system
|One or more preambles are inserted into frames of Orthogonal Frequency Multiplexing (OFDM)-Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) signals. The preamble is received by the antennas of a receiver, decoded and compared to known values to provide synchronization, framing, channels estimation, offsets and other corrections to the transmitted signal.

|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|A method and apparatus are provided for reducing the number of pilot symbols within a MIMO-OFDM communication system, and for improving channel estimation within such a system. For each transmitting antenna in an OFDM transmitter, pilot symbols are encoded so as to be unique to the transmitting antenna. The encoded pilot symbols are then inserted into an OFDM frame to form a diamond lattice, the diamond lattices for the different transmitting antennae using the same frequencies but being offset from each other by a single symbol in the time domain. At the OFDM receiver, a channel response is estimated for a symbol central to each diamond of the diamond lattice using a two-dimensional interpolation. The estimated channel responses are smoothed in the frequency domain. The channel responses of remaining symbols are then estimated by interpolation in the frequency domain.

|System access and synchronization methods for MIMO OFDM communications systems and physical layer packet and preamble design
|A method and apparatus are provided for performing acquisition, synchronization and cell selection within an MIMO-OFDM communication system. A coarse synchronization is performed to determine a searching window. A fine synchronization is then performed by measuring correlations between subsets of signal samples, whose first signal sample lies within the searching window, and known values. The correlations are performed in the frequency domain of the received signal. In a multiple-output OFDM system, each antenna of the OFDM transmitter has a unique known value. The known value is transmitted as pairs of consecutive pilot symbols, each pair of pilot symbols being transmitted at the same subset of sub-carrier frequencies within the OFDM frame.

|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|MIMO communications
|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|The present invention allows a wireless communication system, such as a base station, to select N antennas from an associated group of M antennas for transmitting multiple streams of data to a given user. Based on the channel conditions between the M antennas of the wireless communication system and the multiple antennas at the receiver, the N antennas to use for transmission are selected to enhance channel capacity, signal-to-noise ratios, or a combination thereof. The channel conditions are measured at the receiver, and may be sent back to the wireless communication system for processing or may be processed at the receiver, wherein instructions are transmitted back to the wireless communication system to control antenna selection.

==Introduction==
A femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) and typically supports 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage inside of your home - especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable - without the need for expensive cellular towers. It also decreases the backhaul costs since it routes your mobile phone traffic through the IP network. [http://www.tatarasystems.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/444 Source]

A femtocell is sometimes referred to as a “home base station”, “access point base station”, “3G access point”, “small cellular base station” and “personal 2G-3G base station”.

[[Image:Housefemtocell.jpg|thumb|1000px|centre|[http://www.femtoforum.org/femto/aboutfemtocells.php Femtocell]]]

Femtocells are low-power wireless access points that operate in licensed spectrum to connect standard mobile devices to a mobile operator’s network using residential DSL or cable broadband connections.

|System and method for providing access in a network environment
|Networking architectures have grown increasingly complex in communication environments. Femtocells have gained recent notoriety due to their capabilities. For many femto scenarios, connectivity and/or access protocols can pose a number of problems for end users.
|A method includes evaluating geolocation information associated with a mobile node and using the geolocation information to identify a femtocell capable of providing network access to the mobile node. A primary scrambling code is provided to the mobile node for operation in an idle mode. The method also includes communicating a secondary scrambling code to initiate access to the femtocell by the mobile node when operating in an active mode.

|Call admission priority control determination device and mobile wireless communication system
|When more than one terminal is present in the same cell and these terminals communicate with one base station, the wireless resources of that base station are shared among the plural terminals. As a result, the communication rate becomes lower than when communication is performed by only one terminal. Thus, there is a problem that the use of the femtocell base station by other users deteriorates the quality of communication by specified terminal users such as the femtocell base station administrator.
|It can be solved by a call admission priority control determination device including a registration table containing base station ID numbers of base stations and an ID number of a high-priority first terminal, and a call admission determination unit that determines call admission with reference to the registration table, wherein, when a connection request or a switching-over request for a third terminal has been received from a base station control device, the call admission determination unit, on the basis of this request, references the registration table and determines whether or not call admission for the third terminal is to be permitted.

|bgcolor = "#DCE6F1"|Femtocells could suffer from interference problems without unique spectrum for the femtocell underlay network such as, in a high-rise apartment complex environment, a number of femtocells may be placed near each other, and may be separated only by the floor and/or walls of adjacent apartment units. If these femtocells operate on the same channel, then one femtocell may interfere with the operation of the other femtocell, and vice-versa.

|Using global cell identifier for handover in a combined femto-cell/macro-cell environment
|When large number of femto cells compared to the number of macro cells is present, it is not possible to ensure that all the femto cells within the coverage area of a macro cell have individual and different frequencies and scrambling codes. So in a combined femto cell-macro cell environment, the macro cell RNC will be unable to determine, from the measurement report received from the UE, which cell (either a femto cell or macro cell) was measured.
|A method is provided which includes a network element for a cellular communication system, network element comprises a receiver for receiving a message that comprises a measurement report from a wireless communication unit. The network element further comprises signal processing logic, operably coupled to the receiver, for processing the received measurement report and extracting a global cell identifier therefrom, so the inventive concept provides an improvement to the use of measurement reports, which may be used to facilitate handover between cells in a cellular communication system.

|bgcolor = "#DBE5F1"|IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine
|bgcolor = "#DBE5F1"|Because of the fact that femtocells can access a resource, sufficiently and locally, to known users with higher throughput, considerable attention has been devoted to the potential cognitive femtocell to allow for higher capacity and intelligent coverage, with guaranteed quality of service (QoS) for future indoor service. Cognitive femtocell is presented as a solution for spectrum-scarcity problems and local-convergence demands for indoor network applications. To control the data packet delivery between the macrocell and cognitive femtocell, A developed gateway broadband router based on novel cross-layer management optimization is used.

|Since open access deployment provides an inexpensive way to expand their network capabilities, so it would be preferred by the network operator whereas the femtocell owner would prefer closed access, in order to keep the femtocell<nowiki>’</nowiki>s capacity and backhaul to himself, but best approach depends heavily on whether the multiple access scheme is orthogonal (TDMA or OFDMA, per subband) or non-orthogonal (CDMA)

|bgcolor = "#DBE5F1"|Since each femtocell is served by a home base station (HBS) that is connected to the macrocell base station (BS) via an unreliable network access link, such as DSL followed by the Internet, A scenario with a single macrocell and a single femtocell is presented, and is then extended to include multiple macrocells and femtocells, both with standard single-cell processing and with multicell processing (or network MIMO). Two main issues are presented regarding uplink channel: (i) Interference management between femto and macrocells; (ii) Robustness to uncertainties on the quality of the femtocell (HBSto-BS) access link.

==Introduction==
A femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) and typically supports 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage inside of your home - especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable - without the need for expensive cellular towers. It also decreases the backhaul costs since it routes your mobile phone traffic through the IP network. [http://www.tatarasystems.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/444 Source]

A femtocell is sometimes referred to as a “home base station”, “access point base station”, “3G access point”, “small cellular base station” and “personal 2G-3G base station”.

[[Image:Housefemtocell.jpg|thumb|1000px|centre|[http://www.femtoforum.org/femto/aboutfemtocells.php Femtocell]]]

Femtocells are low-power wireless access points that operate in licensed spectrum to connect standard mobile devices to a mobile operator’s network using residential DSL or cable broadband connections.

|System and method for providing access in a network environment
|Networking architectures have grown increasingly complex in communication environments. Femtocells have gained recent notoriety due to their capabilities. For many femto scenarios, connectivity and/or access protocols can pose a number of problems for end users.
|A method includes evaluating geolocation information associated with a mobile node and using the geolocation information to identify a femtocell capable of providing network access to the mobile node. A primary scrambling code is provided to the mobile node for operation in an idle mode. The method also includes communicating a secondary scrambling code to initiate access to the femtocell by the mobile node when operating in an active mode.

|Call admission priority control determination device and mobile wireless communication system
|When more than one terminal is present in the same cell and these terminals communicate with one base station, the wireless resources of that base station are shared among the plural terminals. As a result, the communication rate becomes lower than when communication is performed by only one terminal. Thus, there is a problem that the use of the femtocell base station by other users deteriorates the quality of communication by specified terminal users such as the femtocell base station administrator.
|It can be solved by a call admission priority control determination device including a registration table containing base station ID numbers of base stations and an ID number of a high-priority first terminal, and a call admission determination unit that determines call admission with reference to the registration table, wherein, when a connection request or a switching-over request for a third terminal has been received from a base station control device, the call admission determination unit, on the basis of this request, references the registration table and determines whether or not call admission for the third terminal is to be permitted.

|Using global cell identifier for handover in a combined femto-cell/macro-cell environment
|When large number of femto cells compared to the number of macro cells is present, it is not possible to ensure that all the femto cells within the coverage area of a macro cell have individual and different frequencies and scrambling codes. So in a combined femto cell-macro cell environment, the macro cell RNC will be unable to determine, from the measurement report received from the UE, which cell (either a femto cell or macro cell) was measured.
|A method is provided which includes a network element for a cellular communication system, network element comprises a receiver for receiving a message that comprises a measurement report from a wireless communication unit. The network element further comprises signal processing logic, operably coupled to the receiver, for processing the received measurement report and extracting a global cell identifier therefrom, so the inventive concept provides an improvement to the use of measurement reports, which may be used to facilitate handover between cells in a cellular communication system.

LTE

2011-06-08T10:42:16Z

Ram.narayan: /* Sample claim charting */

This report presents a brief summary about Dolcera's capabilities in working with standards, with LTE as an example. The taxonomy covers most of the important aspects of LTE. Also presented are examples of mapping patents to standards going to the detail of graphical analysis. Analysis of IPR declarations made to ETSI, and documents uncovered by Dolcera search is also provided.

==Rationale==
* LTE is the most suited mobile technology as it provides higher data rates required for the future and is an improvement over the established GSM/EDGE/HSPA systems
* LTE is promoted by major corporates as the technology enabling future communication
* The following advantages are expected to be obtained with the realization of LTE
** Reduced cost per bit
** Increased service provisioning - more services at lower cost with better user experience
** Flexibility of use of existing and new frequency bands
** Simplified architecture, Open interfaces
** Allow for reasonable terminal power consumption

==Background description==

LTE (Long Term Evolution), is the latest standard in the mobile network technology that came into existence because of the growing needs of faster data rates. It is a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), which realized this technology. LTE is an advancement to previously realized technologies such as GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSxPA etc. Although LTE is often marketed as 4G, first-release LTE is actually a 3.9G technology since it does not fully comply with the IMT Advanced 4G requirements.

LTE-Advanced has been granted 4G compliance given the significant improvement they provide over 3G technologies [http://www.itu.int/net/pressoffice/press_releases/2010/48.aspx]
[[Image:lte-evolve.jpg|centre|500px|thumb|[http://www.4gamericas.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=page&sectionid=249 '''LTE Evolution''' ]]]

Voice traffic will be supported mainly as Voice over IP (VoIP) enabling better integration with other multimedia services. LTE is being designed to be a high data rate and low latency system. LTE is also aimed at minimizing cost and power consumption while ensuring backward-compatibility and a cost effective migration from UMTS systems.
[http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/lte-long-term-evolution/3g-lte-basics.php LTE tutorial]

==Technical details==

===Performance requirements===
LTE is expected to support different types of services including web browsing, FTP, video streaming, VoIP, online gaming, real time video, push-to-talk and push-to-view. Therefore, it is being designed to be a high data rate and low latency system as indicated by the key performance criteria shown below.

[[Image:lte-p.jpg|800px|thumb|centre|[http://www.3gpp.org/LTE '''Fig.1 LTE Release 8 Major Parameters Fig.2 LTE-Release 8 User Equipment Categories ''']]]

==LTE architecture==
[[Image:arch.jpg|700px|thumb|centre|[http://www.ericsson.com/res/docs/whitepapers/lte_overview.pdf LTE architecture]]]

===Protocol stack===
[[Image:prot.jpg|600px|thumb|centre|[http://www.ericsson.com/res/thecompany/docs/journal_conference_papers/wireless_access/IEEE-Com-Mag-April-2009-LTE-SAE-Rel-8-link-layer-design.pdf Protocol stack of LTE]]]

===Data flow ===
The data flow through protocol stack can be shown as

===LTE frame structure===

In order to maintain synchronization and manage different types of information exchange that need to be carried between the base-station or eNodeB and the User Equipment (UE), LTE system has a defined LTE frame and sub frame structure for the E-UTRA or Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access

There are two types of LTE frame structure:

* '''Type 1: FDD systems'''
** The basic type 1 LTE frame has an overall length of 10 ms. This is then divided into a total of 20 individual slots. LTE sub frames then consist of two slots - in other words there are ten LTE sub frames within a frame.

[[Image:type1f.jpg|thumb|centre|600px|[http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/lte-long-term-evolution/lte-frame-subframe-structure.php LTE frame structure]]]

* '''Type 2: TDD systems'''
** The frame structure for the type 2 frames used on LTE TDD is somewhat different. The 10 ms frame comprises two half frames, each 5 ms long. The LTE half-frames are further split into five sub frames, each 1ms long.

[[Image:type2f.jpg|thumb|centre|600px|[http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/lte-long-term-evolution/lte-frame-subframe-structure.php LTE frame structure]]]

* The subframes may be divided into standard sub frames of special sub frames. The special sub frames consist of three fields
** DwPTS - Downlink Pilot Time Slot
** GP - Guard Period
** UpPTS - Uplink Pilot Time Slot.

==LTE enabling technologies==

* '''OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access)'''
** It is used in the downlink communication of LTE as it can support high data rates
* '''SC-FDMA (Single Carrier FDMA)'''
** It is used in the uplink communication of LTE as it helps in reducing terminal power consumption
* '''MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output)'''
** Helps in obtaining increased data rates with usage of many antennas.
* '''System Architecture Evolution(SAE)'''
** New core network architecture to support the high-throughput / low latency LTE access system
** Simplified network architecture
** All IP network
** All services are via PS domain only, No CS domain
** Support mobility between multiple heterogeneous access system
* '''Fractional frequency reuse'''
** Helps in reusing the frequency so that spectral efficiency can be improved

==MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output)==

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technologies introduced in LTE such as spatial multiplexing, transmit diversity, and beamforming are key components for providing higher peak rate at a better system efficiency, which are essential for supporting future broadband data service over wireless links.In Long Term Evolution (LTE), MIMO technologies have been widely used to improve downlink peak rate, cell coverage, as well as average cell throughput.

To achieve this diverse set of objectives, LTE adopted various MIMO technologies including transmit diversity, single user (SU)-MIMO, multiuser (MU)-MIMO, closed-loop rank-1 precoding, and dedicated beamforming. [http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/2009/302092.html MIMO in LTE]

|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|A rate adaptive transmission scheme for MIMO systems, which can transmit a variable number of data symbol streams, provide transmit diversity for each data symbol stream, and fully utilize the total transmit power of the system and the full power of each antenna. In one method, at least one data symbol stream is received for transmission from a plurality of antennas. Each data symbol stream is scaled with a respective weight corresponding to the amount of transmit power allocated to that stream. The scaled data symbol stream(s) are multiplied with a transmit basis matrix to provide a plurality of transmit symbol streams for the plurality of antennas. The transmit basis matrix (e.g., a Walsh-Hadamard matrix or a DFT matrix) is defined such that each data symbol stream is transmitted from all antennas and each transmit symbol stream is transmitted at (or near) the full power for the associated antenna.

|Preamble design for multiple input--multiple output (MIMO), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system
|One or more preambles are inserted into frames of Orthogonal Frequency Multiplexing (OFDM)-Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) signals.

|bgcolor = "#B8CCE4"|A method and apparatus are provided for reducing the number of pilot symbols within a MIMO-OFDM communication system, and for improving channel estimation within such a system. For each transmitting antenna in an OFDM transmitter, pilot symbols are encoded so as to be unique to the transmitting antenna. The encoded pilot symbols are then inserted into an OFDM frame to form a diamond lattice, the diamond lattices for the different transmitting antennae using the same frequencies but being offset from each other by a single symbol in the time domain. At the OFDM receiver, a channel response is estimated for a symbol central to each diamond of the diamond lattice using a two-dimensional interpolation. The estimated channel responses are smoothed in the frequency domain. The channel responses of remaining symbols are then estimated by interpolation in the frequency domain.

|System access and synchronization methods for MIMO OFDM communications systems and physical layer packet and preamble design
|A method and apparatus are provided for performing acquisition, synchronization and cell selection within an MIMO-OFDM communication system. A coarse synchronization is performed to determine a searching window. A fine synchronization is then performed by measuring correlations between subsets of signal samples, whose first signal sample lies within the searching window, and known values. The correlations are performed in the frequency domain of the received signal. In a multiple-output OFDM system, each antenna of the OFDM transmitter has a unique known value. The known value is transmitted as pairs of consecutive pilot symbols, each pair of pilot symbols being transmitted at the same subset of sub-carrier frequencies within the OFDM frame.

==Introduction==
A femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) and typically supports 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage inside of your home - especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable - without the need for expensive cellular towers. It also decreases the backhaul costs since it routes your mobile phone traffic through the IP network. [http://www.tatarasystems.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/444 Source]

A femtocell is sometimes referred to as a “home base station”, “access point base station”, “3G access point”, “small cellular base station” and “personal 2G-3G base station”.

[[Image:Housefemtocell.jpg|thumb|1000px|centre|[http://www.femtoforum.org/femto/aboutfemtocells.php Femtocell]]]

Femtocells are low-power wireless access points that operate in licensed spectrum to connect standard mobile devices to a mobile operator’s network using residential DSL or cable broadband connections.

|System and method for providing access in a network environment
|Networking architectures have grown increasingly complex in communication environments. Femtocells have gained recent notoriety due to their capabilities. For many femto scenarios, connectivity and/or access protocols can pose a number of problems for end users.
|A method includes evaluating geolocation information associated with a mobile node and using the geolocation information to identify a femtocell capable of providing network access to the mobile node. A primary scrambling code is provided to the mobile node for operation in an idle mode. The method also includes communicating a secondary scrambling code to initiate access to the femtocell by the mobile node when operating in an active mode.

|Call admission priority control determination device and mobile wireless communication system
|When more than one terminal is present in the same cell and these terminals communicate with one base station, the wireless resources of that base station are shared among the plural terminals. As a result, the communication rate becomes lower than when communication is performed by only one terminal. Thus, there is a problem that the use of the femtocell base station by other users deteriorates the quality of communication by specified terminal users such as the femtocell base station administrator.
|It can be solved by a call admission priority control determination device including a registration table containing base station ID numbers of base stations and an ID number of a high-priority first terminal, and a call admission determination unit that determines call admission with reference to the registration table, wherein, when a connection request or a switching-over request for a third terminal has been received from a base station control device, the call admission determination unit, on the basis of this request, references the registration table and determines whether or not call admission for the third terminal is to be permitted.

|bgcolor = "#DCE6F1"|Current 3G redirection features do not allow for redirection of UE<nowiki>’</nowiki>s from a first cell to another cell operating at the same frequency as the first cell. Therefore, if the 3G femtocell is operating at the same frequency as a neighboring 3G RAT or macrocell, then the current redirection mechanism cannot be used for balancing the load. This is due to interference between cells.
|bgcolor = "#DCE6F1"|For particular femtocells which have reached or are nearing full capacity, a UE such as a mobile telephone or mobile communication device can be redirected from a 3G femtocell to another macrocell operating at the same or different frequency as the femtocell (access point). This provides improved communications for existing users within the femtocell, as well as for new users whose communications have been redirected to another cell.

|Using global cell identifier for handover in a combined femto-cell/macro-cell environment
|When large number of femto cells compared to the number of macro cells is present, it is not possible to ensure that all the femto cells within the coverage area of a macro cell have individual and different frequencies and scrambling codes. So in a combined femto cell-macro cell environment, the macro cell RNC will be unable to determine, from the measurement report received from the UE, which cell (either a femto cell or macro cell) was measured.
|A method is provided which includes a network element for a cellular communication system, network element comprises a receiver for receiving a message that comprises a measurement report from a wireless communication unit. The network element further comprises signal processing logic, operably coupled to the receiver, for processing the received measurement report and extracting a global cell identifier therefrom, so the inventive concept provides an improvement to the use of measurement reports, which may be used to facilitate handover between cells in a cellular communication system.

==Introduction==
A femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) and typically supports 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage inside of your home - especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable - without the need for expensive cellular towers. It also decreases the backhaul costs since it routes your mobile phone traffic through the IP network. [http://www.tatarasystems.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/444 Source]

A femtocell is sometimes referred to as a “home base station”, “access point base station”, “3G access point”, “small cellular base station” and “personal 2G-3G base station”.

[[Image:Housefemtocell.jpg|thumb|1000px|centre|[http://www.femtoforum.org/femto/aboutfemtocells.php Femtocell]]]

Femtocells are low-power wireless access points that operate in licensed spectrum to connect standard mobile devices to a mobile operator’s network using residential DSL or cable broadband connections.

|Call admission priority control determination device and mobile wireless communication system
|When more than one terminal is present in the same cell and these terminals communicate with one base station, the wireless resources of that base station are shared among the plural terminals. As a result, the communication rate becomes lower than when communication is performed by only one terminal. Thus, there is a problem that the use of the femtocell base station by other users deteriorates the quality of communication by specified terminal users such as the femtocell base station administrator.
|It can be solved by a call admission priority control determination device including a registration table containing base station ID numbers of base stations and an ID number of a high-priority first terminal, and a call admission determination unit that determines call admission with reference to the registration table, wherein, when a connection request or a switching-over request for a third terminal has been received from a base station control device, the call admission determination unit, on the basis of this request, references the registration table and determines whether or not call admission for the third terminal is to be permitted.

|Since open access deployment provides an inexpensive way to expand their network capabilities, so it would be preferred by the network operator whereas the femtocell owner would prefer closed access, in order to keep the femtocell<nowiki>’</nowiki>s capacity and backhaul to himself, but best approach depends heavily on whether the multiple access scheme is orthogonal (TDMA or OFDMA, per subband) or non-orthogonal (CDMA)

|bgcolor = "#DBE5F1"|Dec. 2010
|bgcolor = "#DBE5F1"| IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications
|bgcolor = "#DBE5F1"|Since each femtocell is served by a home base station (HBS) that is connected to the macrocell base station (BS) via an unreliable network access link, such as DSL followed by the Internet, A scenario with a single macrocell and a single femtocell is presented, and is then extended to include multiple macrocells and femtocells, both with standard single-cell processing and with multicell processing (or network MIMO). Two main issues are presented regarding uplink channel: (i) Interference management between femto and macrocells; (ii) Robustness to uncertainties on the quality of the femtocell (HBSto-BS) access link.

==Introduction==
A femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) and typically supports 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage inside of your home - especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable - without the need for expensive cellular towers. It also decreases the backhaul costs since it routes your mobile phone traffic through the IP network. [http://www.tatarasystems.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/444 Source]

A femtocell is sometimes referred to as a “home base station”, “access point base station”, “3G access point”, “small cellular base station” and “personal 2G-3G base station”.

[[Image:Housefemtocell.jpg|thumb|1000px|centre|[http://www.femtoforum.org/femto/aboutfemtocells.php Femtocell]]]

Femtocells are low-power wireless access points that operate in licensed spectrum to connect standard mobile devices to a mobile operator’s network using residential DSL or cable broadband connections.

|System and method for providing access in a network environment
|Networking architectures have grown increasingly complex in communication environments. Femtocells have gained recent notoriety due to their capabilities. For many femto scenarios, connectivity and/or access protocols can pose a number of problems for end users.
|A method includes evaluating geolocation information associated with a mobile node and using the geolocation information to identify a femtocell capable of providing network access to the mobile node. A primary scrambling code is provided to the mobile node for operation in an idle mode. The method also includes communicating a secondary scrambling code to initiate access to the femtocell by the mobile node when operating in an active mode.

|Call admission priority control determination device and mobile wireless communication system
|When more than one terminal is present in the same cell and these terminals communicate with one base station, the wireless resources of that base station are shared among the plural terminals. As a result, the communication rate becomes lower than when communication is performed by only one terminal. Thus, there is a problem that the use of the femtocell base station by other users deteriorates the quality of communication by specified terminal users such as the femtocell base station administrator.
|It can be solved by a call admission priority control determination device including a registration table containing base station ID numbers of base stations and an ID number of a high-priority first terminal, and a call admission determination unit that determines call admission with reference to the registration table, wherein, when a connection request or a switching-over request for a third terminal has been received from a base station control device, the call admission determination unit, on the basis of this request, references the registration table and determines whether or not call admission for the third terminal is to be permitted.

|A method for reducing the possibility of interference between femtocell basestations that are located very close together may need to use the same scrambling code which includes method of selecting a scrambling code, for use in a basestation of a cellular communications network, the method comprising: receiving from a management system a list comprising at least one allowed scrambling code for femtocell basestations; and detecting, in information broadcast by at least one macrocell basestation, at least one allowed scrambling code available in an area containing the basestation.

|Access control method for cellular networks comprising femto-cells
|It is not necessary that the femto system may know at each time the cell locations of all user equipments camping in its area because it will be unable to track those user terminals entering the femto-cell while in the Idle Mode, and also taking into account the fact that up to 6 minutes might be necessary for the user terminal to trigger its periodic location update. Because of this it would not be possible to distribute paging messages from the Core Network to individual femto-cells without running the risk that paging may not be received by the user equipment addressed thereby.
|A method is provided to control access of user terminals to a femto system which includes Non Access Stratum (NAS) Mobility Management (MM) messages as well as Access Stratum (AS) Radio Resource Control (RRC) messages.

|Using global cell identifier for handover in a combined femto-cell/macro-cell environment
|When large number of femto cells compared to the number of macro cells is present, it is not possible to ensure that all the femto cells within the coverage area of a macro cell have individual and different frequencies and scrambling codes. So in a combined femto cell-macro cell environment, the macro cell RNC will be unable to determine, from the measurement report received from the UE, which cell (either a femto cell or macro cell) was measured.
|A method is provided which includes a network element for a cellular communication system, network element comprises a receiver for receiving a message that comprises a measurement report from a wireless communication unit. The network element further comprises signal processing logic, operably coupled to the receiver, for processing the received measurement report and extracting a global cell identifier therefrom, so the inventive concept provides an improvement to the use of measurement reports, which may be used to facilitate handover between cells in a cellular communication system.

|bgcolor = "#DBE5F1"|Because of the fact that femtocells can access a resource, sufficiently and locally, to known users with higher throughput, considerable attention has been devoted to the potential cognitive femtocell to allow for higher capacity and intelligent coverage, with guaranteed quality of service (QoS) for future indoor service. Cognitive femtocell is presented as a solution for spectrum-scarcity problems and local-convergence demands for indoor network applications. To control the data packet delivery between the macrocell and cognitive femtocell, A developed gateway broadband router based on novel cross-layer management optimization is used.

|Since open access deployment provides an inexpensive way to expand their network capabilities, so it would be preferred by the network operator whereas the femtocell owner would prefer closed access, in order to keep the femtocell<nowiki>’</nowiki>s capacity and backhaul to himself, but best approach depends heavily on whether the multiple access scheme is orthogonal (TDMA or OFDMA, per subband) or non-orthogonal (CDMA)

==Introduction==
A femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) and typically supports 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage inside of your home - especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable - without the need for expensive cellular towers. It also decreases the backhaul costs since it routes your mobile phone traffic through the IP network. [http://www.tatarasystems.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/444 Source]

A femtocell is sometimes referred to as a “home base station”, “access point base station”, “3G access point”, “small cellular base station” and “personal 2G-3G base station”.

[[Image:Housefemtocell.jpg|thumb|1000px|centre|[http://www.femtoforum.org/femto/aboutfemtocells.php Femtocell]]]

Femtocells are low-power wireless access points that operate in licensed spectrum to connect standard mobile devices to a mobile operator’s network using residential DSL or cable broadband connections.

|System and method for providing access in a network environment
|Networking architectures have grown increasingly complex in communication environments. Femtocells have gained recent notoriety due to their capabilities. For many femto scenarios, connectivity and/or access protocols can pose a number of problems for end users.
|A method includes evaluating geolocation information associated with a mobile node and using the geolocation information to identify a femtocell capable of providing network access to the mobile node. A primary scrambling code is provided to the mobile node for operation in an idle mode. The method also includes communicating a secondary scrambling code to initiate access to the femtocell by the mobile node when operating in an active mode.

|Call admission priority control determination device and mobile wireless communication system
|When more than one terminal is present in the same cell and these terminals communicate with one base station, the wireless resources of that base station are shared among the plural terminals. As a result, the communication rate becomes lower than when communication is performed by only one terminal. Thus, there is a problem that the use of the femtocell base station by other users deteriorates the quality of communication by specified terminal users such as the femtocell base station administrator.
|It can be solved by a call admission priority control determination device including a registration table containing base station ID numbers of base stations and an ID number of a high-priority first terminal, and a call admission determination unit that determines call admission with reference to the registration table, wherein, when a connection request or a switching-over request for a third terminal has been received from a base station control device, the call admission determination unit, on the basis of this request, references the registration table and determines whether or not call admission for the third terminal is to be permitted.

|bgcolor = "#DCE6F1"|Current 3G redirection features do not allow for redirection of UE<nowiki>’</nowiki>s from a first cell to another cell operating at the same frequency as the first cell. Therefore, if the 3G femtocell is operating at the same frequency as a neighboring 3G RAT or macrocell, then the current redirection mechanism cannot be used for balancing the load. This is due to interference between cells.
|bgcolor = "#DCE6F1"|For particular femtocells which have reached or are nearing full capacity, a UE such as a mobile telephone or mobile communication device can be redirected from a 3G femtocell to another macrocell operating at the same or different frequency as the femtocell (access point). This provides improved communications for existing users within the femtocell, as well as for new users whose communications have been redirected to another cell.

|Using global cell identifier for handover in a combined femto-cell/macro-cell environment
|When large number of femto cells compared to the number of macro cells is present, it is not possible to ensure that all the femto cells within the coverage area of a macro cell have individual and different frequencies and scrambling codes. So in a combined femto cell-macro cell environment, the macro cell RNC will be unable to determine, from the measurement report received from the UE, which cell (either a femto cell or macro cell) was measured.
|A method is provided which includes a network element for a cellular communication system, network element comprises a receiver for receiving a message that comprises a measurement report from a wireless communication unit. The network element further comprises signal processing logic, operably coupled to the receiver, for processing the received measurement report and extracting a global cell identifier therefrom, so the inventive concept provides an improvement to the use of measurement reports, which may be used to facilitate handover between cells in a cellular communication system.

==Introduction==
A femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) and typically supports 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage inside of your home - especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable - without the need for expensive cellular towers. It also decreases the backhaul costs since it routes your mobile phone traffic through the IP network. [http://www.tatarasystems.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/444 Source]

A femtocell is sometimes referred to as a “home base station”, “access point base station”, “3G access point”, “small cellular base station” and “personal 2G-3G base station”.

Femtocells are low-power wireless access points that operate in licensed spectrum to connect standard mobile devices to a mobile operator’s network using residential DSL or cable broadband connections.

|When more than one terminal is present in the same cell and these terminals communicate with one base station, the wireless resources of that base station are shared among the plural terminals.

=Interference=
==Co-Layer Interference==
Co-layer interference is described as the unwanted signal received at a femtocell and sent from other femtocells, decreasing thus the quality of its communication. The name co-layer makes reference to the fact that all femtocells belong to the same network layer, unlike other elements like base stations, NodeBs and so on, which belong to the macrocell layer. Co-layer interference occurs mainly between inmediate neighbours due to low isolation between houses and appartments.

==Cross-Layer Interference==
In two-layer networks, an interfering signal is assumed to produce cross-layer interference if the aggressor and the victim systems belong to different layers of the network. For example, the distortion caused by an emitting FAP (member of the femtocell layer) at the downlink of one or several macrocells (members of the macrocell layer) is a clear case of cross-layer interference. Likewise, it can also be considered as cross-layer interference if the distortion is caused by a macrocell user (member of the macrocell layer) at the uplink of a nearby FAP (member of the femtocell layer). Cross-layer interference is a problem especially in CDMA co-channel deployed two-layer networks, due to the fact that both femtocells and macrocells use the same frequency band.

==Interference mitigation techniques for femtocells==
{|border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%"
|bgcolor = "#4F81BD"|'''Mitigation technique'''
|bgcolor = "#4F81BD"|'''Explanation and usage'''
|-
|Channel assignment
|The network assigns users who are not part of the femtocell subscriber group to the most appropriate channel. Users who are on the macrocell can avoid femtocell dead zones. Femtocell users can be assigned different channels to avoid interference in overlapping coverage areas
|-
|Downlink power management (i.e. automatic gain control)
|The femtocell transmit power is adjusted to give an appropriate trade-off between coverage and interference at a given location. This may be done using direct measurements of both the uplink and downlink channels and using measurements taken by both femtocells and user equipments to provide enhanced accuracy. The levels may also be varied over time in response to changing conditions
|-
|Power capping of user maximum transmit power
|The femtocell sends a broadcast message to mobiles in its coverage to ensure a given maximum transmit power is never exceeded. As users leave the femtocell coverage, they are thus prevented from causing excessive uplink interference to the macrocells and the coverage area
|-
|Dynamic receiver gain management
|An adaptive attenuation level is included in the femtocell receiver to reduce its gain when a strong co-channel (or adjacent channel) mobile is nearby, keeping the receiver operating within its linear dynamic range and avoiding blocking while still providing sufficient sensitivity to detect mobile at the edge of femtocell coverage
|-
|Broad dynamic range specification and testing
|Since mobiles can approach very close to femtocells, the strong signal-handling ability of the femtocell should be verified in conformance testing

=Femtocell Issues=
==Security Solution==
===IPsec===
IPsec is an Internet protocol, whose aim is to ensure security and authentication on the
Internet. It operates on the third layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model.
The IPsec standard is defined by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). With IPsec,
packets are divided into two parts: an IP header, and the data.

'''A security association protocol''' creates the security keys that will be used for encryption and to authenticate the two entities at the extremities of the tunnel. The creation of the keys is based on the secret shared concept, and a complex algorithm is responsible for sharing the secret between both entities.

'''Authentication Header (AH)''' is a protocol that provides authentication of the contents of the packet through the addition of a header that is calculated based on the content in the packet. It is based on checksums that depend on the keys defined by the security association. Which parts of the packet are used for the calculation, and the placement of the header depend on the mode (tunnel or transport) and the version of IP (v4 or v6). AH does not encrypt but only provides authentication.

'''Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)''' ensures privacy by encrypting the data. This
algorithm uses the key to combine the data in order to encrypt it. Only the security association
users know the keys and are able to decrypt at the other side of the IPsec tunnel.

===Extensible Authentication Protocol===
EAP is a universal authentication framework frequently used in wireless networks. Many implementations have been proposed depending on the technologies. Few of them have been applied to femtocells and are implemented in the FGW to ensure security and authentication.

'''EAP-Transport Layer Security (TLS)''' is the most well known EAP, and is implemented by all wireless equipments. It is based on the use of a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to create and manage the digital certificates. EAP-TLS was formerly called EAP-Secure Socket Layer (SSL), and the last implementation is detailed in [9]. In this protocol, a certificate authority links the public keys with their respective users. The certificate can be established automatically by software or manually by the users themselves. The user, the keys, the certificates and their validity are managed by the PKI.

'''EAP-Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)''' is an implementation for GSM using a SIM card. It is defined in [10]. In this approach the shared information between the two entities is contained on the SIM card.

'''EAP-Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA)''' is used for UMTS combined with a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) card [11]. It is based upon symmetric keys and it includes optional user anonymity and reauthentication procedures.

'''EAP-Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2)''' is the improved version of EAP-Internet Key Exchange (IKE) proposed in 1998. It is a very secure solution that has the following options

===Femtocell Secure Authentication===
====X.509 Authentication====
X.509 certificates are usually used for authentication in IP-based networks. With such an approach, the sensitive information (i.e. the serial number) is stored in a specific hardware component called Trusted Platform Module (TPM). This element is a protected memory whose content can not be modified. With this approach, the identification of the FAP is defined at the manufacturing stage. When a customer purchases a FAP from an operator, the operator will associate this new customer to the serial number of the femtocell. The serial number information is given by the manufacturer directly to the operator, so that no other entity has access to this information. Later, when the customer uses his femtocell, its public key can only be used together with this serial number.

====SIM Card Authentication====
In this case the protected information to authenticate a user is stored in a SIM/USIM card, and this has to be installed inside the FAP (see Figure 9.6). In this approach, when a customer purchases a FAP from an operator, this operator will authenticate the user thanks to the information stored in both the SIM/USIM card and the Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server.

==Femtocell Location Solution==
'''GPS positioning:''' some femtocell manufacturers have chosen to include a GPS receiver inside their equipment.GPS suffers low reception inside homes. However, the FAP is not expected to be moved often and so it could be possible for it to store the last received GPS coordinate in order to give a good estimation of the position of the FAP.

'''Cell sensing:''' the position could also be estimated using geolocalization methods. With such an approach the FAP senses the neighbouring macrocells, and uses triangulation methods, based on the received signal power or the time of arrival. With such information the FAP could estimate its position. However this solution is only possible if there are several macrocells in the surroundings of the femtocell.

'''TV signal:''' TV signals can be used not only for timing accuracy, but also to estimate the position of a FAP. The main advantage of such signals is that their levels are higher than GPS signals, and they use a wide range of frequencies, making them more efficient against fading. According to [15], it has been verified with measurements in the USA that using TV signals outperforms GPS, because of its cheaper price and higher accuracy.
'''Internet IP address:''' it is possible to identify the location by the IP address of the Internet connection. However this information is not always reliable, unless the whole chain (Internet and mobile operator) work together to provide this information. In practice, IP addresses could be used when a unique operator offers a combined gateway incorporating the broadband router and the FAP.

'''Customer address:''' The last solution is to associate the home address of the subscriber to its FAP at the sale point. The advantage of this approach is that the exact address is located. The drawback is that the operator should be informed each time the subscriber moves to another location.

==Need for New Applications==
'''Indoor radio coverage:''' this was the initial goal of femtocells, i.e. ensuring a good radio coverage indoors, where the macrocell coverage was not sufficient. Cheap calls at home: for users already having a good indoor radio coverage, the concern is to have indoor calls at a lower price. It is also the main concern for enterprise femtocell deployment.

'''Mobile data:''' femtocells are not only aimed at voice, but also data services. Data services like video and web started to be widely used with UMA, which is why femtocells have to offer advanced data services.

'''Femtozone services:''' this kind of service is both voice/data, and is used automatically when the user is in the range of the femtocells. The operators are today very concerned about deploying such services.

'''Connected home services:''' a recent concern for customers is the concept of connected home. This is mainly the case with the scenario of gateway femtocells, were the services at home (like computer, phone, TV, printer, or camera) are all connected to the same box. In this case the phone can access mobile services via the femtocell.

==Development of New Applications==
===Femtozone Services===
'''Presence applications''' are based on the fact that customers always have their mobile phone with them. In such a case it is possible to initiate some automatic services each time the subscriber enters/leaves the range of their femtocells. For example, when a user enters his home, it could be possible to automatically upload all the new pictures in the mobile onto the home server. Another example could be for a mother to set up her child’s mobile, so that she will receive a Short Message Service (SMS) when the child arrives at home or leaves the house.

'''Virtual numbers''' can be added in the home. The calls would be managed only by the femtocell and not by the operator. Such numbers can be used to create groups of users inside the house. For example, a unique mobile number could be used to reach all the users inside the house.

===Connected Home Services===
The notion of connected home services aims at using the femtocell as a link between the mobile and the home network. Another idea would be to use the mobile to control some equipment like the TV. With connected home services, the mobile becomes a controller that helps to manage, via the FAP, all connected equipment inside the house. Such services could also help to diversify the role of the mobile, thus making more revenue for the operators.

===Femtocell API===
Femtocell applications can be implemented in different locations:
* in the FAP itself for most of the applications,
* in the handset that interacts with the FAP.
For those implemented in the FAP, the applications should be developed by the manufacturer. A good option could be that the operator provides an Application Programming Interface (API), in order to allow external companies easily to develop their software.

==Introduction==
A femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) and typically supports 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage inside of your home - especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable - without the need for expensive cellular towers. It also decreases the backhaul costs since it routes your mobile phone traffic through the IP network. [http://www.tatarasystems.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/444 Source]

A femtocell is sometimes referred to as a “home base station”, “access point base station”, “3G access point”, “small cellular base station” and “personal 2G-3G base station”.

|System and method for providing access in a network environment
|Networking architectures have grown increasingly complex in communication environments. Femtocells have gained recent notoriety due to their capabilities. For many femto scenarios, connectivity and/or access protocols can pose a number of problems for end users.
|A method includes evaluating geolocation information associated with a mobile node and using the geolocation information to identify a femtocell capable of providing network access to the mobile node. A primary scrambling code is provided to the mobile node for operation in an idle mode. The method also includes communicating a secondary scrambling code to initiate access to the femtocell by the mobile node when operating in an active mode.

|Call admission priority control determination device and mobile wireless communication system
|When more than one terminal is present in the same cell and these terminals communicate with one base station, the wireless resources of that base station are shared among the plural terminals. As a result, the communication rate becomes lower than when communication is performed by only one terminal. Thus, there is a problem that the use of the femtocell base station by other users deteriorates the quality of communication by specified terminal users such as the femtocell base station administrator.
|It can be solved by a call admission priority control determination device including a registration table containing base station ID numbers of base stations and an ID number of a high-priority first terminal, and a call admission determination unit that determines call admission with reference to the registration table, wherein, when a connection request or a switching-over request for a third terminal has been received from a base station control device, the call admission determination unit, on the basis of this request, references the registration table and determines whether or not call admission for the third terminal is to be permitted.

This is due to interference between cells.
|bgcolor = "#DCE6F1"|For particular femtocells which have reached or are nearing full capacity, a UE such as a mobile telephone or mobile communication device can be redirected from a 3G femtocell to another macrocell operating at the same or different frequency as the femtocell (access point).

|Using global cell identifier for handover in a combined femto-cell/macro-cell environment
|When large number of femto cells compared to the number of macro cells is present, it is not possible to ensure that all the femto cells within the coverage area of a macro cell have individual and different frequencies and scrambling codes. So in a combined femto cell-macro cell environment, the macro cell RNC will be unable to determine, from the measurement report received from the UE, which cell (either a femto cell or macro cell) was measured.
|A method is provided which includes a network element for a cellular communication system, network element comprises a receiver for receiving a message that comprises a measurement report from a wireless communication unit. The network element further comprises signal processing logic, operably coupled to the receiver, for processing the received measurement report and extracting a global cell identifier therefrom, so the inventive concept provides an improvement to the use of measurement reports, which may be used to facilitate handover between cells in a cellular communication system.

==Introduction==
A femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) and typically supports 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage inside of your home - especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable - without the need for expensive cellular towers. It also decreases the backhaul costs since it routes your mobile phone traffic through the IP network. [http://www.tatarasystems.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/444 Source]

A femtocell is sometimes referred to as a “home base station”, “access point base station”, “3G access point”, “small cellular base station” and “personal 2G-3G base station”.

Femtocells are low-power wireless access points that operate in licensed spectrum to connect standard mobile devices to a mobile operator’s network using residential DSL or cable broadband connections.

|System and method for providing access in a network environment
|Networking architectures have grown increasingly complex in communication environments. Femtocells have gained recent notoriety due to their capabilities. For many femto scenarios, connectivity and/or access protocols can pose a number of problems for end users.
|A method includes evaluating geolocation information associated with a mobile node and using the geolocation information to identify a femtocell capable of providing network access to the mobile node. A primary scrambling code is provided to the mobile node for operation in an idle mode. The method also includes communicating a secondary scrambling code to initiate access to the femtocell by the mobile node when operating in an active mode.

|Call admission priority control determination device and mobile wireless communication system
|When more than one terminal is present in the same cell and these terminals communicate with one base station, the wireless resources of that base station are shared among the plural terminals. As a result, the communication rate becomes lower than when communication is performed by only one terminal. Thus, there is a problem that the use of the femtocell base station by other users deteriorates the quality of communication by specified terminal users such as the femtocell base station administrator.
|It can be solved by a call admission priority control determination device including a registration table containing base station ID numbers of base stations and an ID number of a high-priority first terminal, and a call admission determination unit that determines call admission with reference to the registration table, wherein, when a connection request or a switching-over request for a third terminal has been received from a base station control device, the call admission determination unit, on the basis of this request, references the registration table and determines whether or not call admission for the third terminal is to be permitted.

==Introduction==
A femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) and typically supports 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage inside of your home - especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable - without the need for expensive cellular towers. It also decreases the backhaul costs since it routes your mobile phone traffic through the IP network. [http://www.tatarasystems.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/444 Source]

A femtocell is sometimes referred to as a “home base station”, “access point base station”, “3G access point”, “small cellular base station” and “personal 2G-3G base station”.

[[Image:Housefemtocell.jpg|thumb|1000px|centre|[http://www.femtoforum.org/femto/aboutfemtocells.php Femtocell]]]

Femtocells are low-power wireless access points that operate in licensed spectrum to connect standard mobile devices to a mobile operator’s network using residential DSL or cable broadband connections.

|Call admission priority control determination device and mobile wireless communication system
|When more than one terminal is present in the same cell and these terminals communicate with one base station, the wireless resources of that base station are shared among the plural terminals. As a result, the communication rate becomes lower than when communication is performed by only one terminal. Thus, there is a problem that the use of the femtocell base station by other users deteriorates the quality of communication by specified terminal users such as the femtocell base station administrator.
|It can be solved by a call admission priority control determination device including a registration table containing base station ID numbers of base stations and an ID number of a high-priority first terminal, and a call admission determination unit that determines call admission with reference to the registration table, wherein, when a connection request or a switching-over request for a third terminal has been received from a base station control device, the call admission determination unit, on the basis of this request, references the registration table and determines whether or not call admission for the third terminal is to be permitted.

|bgcolor = "#DBE5F1"|IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine
|bgcolor = "#DBE5F1"|Because of the fact that femtocells can access a resource, sufficiently and locally, to known users with higher throughput, considerable attention has been devoted to the potential cognitive femtocell to allow for higher capacity and intelligent coverage, with guaranteed quality of service (QoS) for future indoor service. Cognitive femtocell is presented as a solution for spectrum-scarcity problems and local-convergence demands for indoor network applications. To control the data packet delivery between the macrocell and cognitive femtocell, A developed gateway broadband router based on novel cross-layer management optimization is used.

|Dec. 2010
|IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications
|Since open access deployment provides an inexpensive way to expand their network capabilities, so it would be preferred by the network operator whereas the femtocell owner would prefer closed access, in order to keep the femtocell<nowiki>’</nowiki>s capacity and backhaul to himself, but best approach depends heavily on whether the multiple access scheme is orthogonal (TDMA or OFDMA, per subband) or non-orthogonal (CDMA)

|bgcolor = "#DBE5F1"|Dec. 2010
|bgcolor = "#DBE5F1"| IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications
|bgcolor = "#DBE5F1"|Since each femtocell is served by a home base station (HBS) that is connected to the macrocell base station (BS) via an unreliable network access link, such as DSL followed by the Internet, A scenario with a single macrocell and a single femtocell is presented, and is then extended to include multiple macrocells and femtocells, both with standard single-cell processing and with multicell processing (or network MIMO). Two main issues are presented regarding uplink channel: (i) Interference management between femto and macrocells; (ii) Robustness to uncertainties on the quality of the femtocell (HBSto-BS) access link.

==Introduction==
A femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) and typically supports 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage inside of your home - especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable - without the need for expensive cellular towers. It also decreases the backhaul costs since it routes your mobile phone traffic through the IP network. [http://www.tatarasystems.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/444 Source]

A femtocell is sometimes referred to as a “home base station”, “access point base station”, “3G access point”, “small cellular base station” and “personal 2G-3G base station”.

[[Image:Housefemtocell.jpg|thumb|1000px|centre|[http://www.femtoforum.org/femto/aboutfemtocells.php Femtocell]]]

Femtocells are low-power wireless access points that operate in licensed spectrum to connect standard mobile devices to a mobile operator’s network using residential DSL or cable broadband connections.

|System and method for providing access in a network environment
|Networking architectures have grown increasingly complex in communication environments. Femtocells have gained recent notoriety due to their capabilities. For many femto scenarios, connectivity and/or access protocols can pose a number of problems for end users.
|A method includes evaluating geolocation information associated with a mobile node and using the geolocation information to identify a femtocell capable of providing network access to the mobile node. A primary scrambling code is provided to the mobile node for operation in an idle mode. The method also includes communicating a secondary scrambling code to initiate access to the femtocell by the mobile node when operating in an active mode.

|Call admission priority control determination device and mobile wireless communication system
|When more than one terminal is present in the same cell and these terminals communicate with one base station, the wireless resources of that base station are shared among the plural terminals. As a result, the communication rate becomes lower than when communication is performed by only one terminal. Thus, there is a problem that the use of the femtocell base station by other users deteriorates the quality of communication by specified terminal users such as the femtocell base station administrator.
|It can be solved by a call admission priority control determination device including a registration table containing base station ID numbers of base stations and an ID number of a high-priority first terminal, and a call admission determination unit that determines call admission with reference to the registration table, wherein, when a connection request or a switching-over request for a third terminal has been received from a base station control device, the call admission determination unit, on the basis of this request, references the registration table and determines whether or not call admission for the third terminal is to be permitted.

|Access control method for cellular networks comprising femto-cells
|It is not necessary that the femto system may know at each time the cell locations of all user equipments camping in its area because it will be unable to track those user terminals entering the femto-cell while in the Idle Mode, and also taking into account the fact that up to 6 minutes might be necessary for the user terminal to trigger its periodic location update. Because of this it would not be possible to distribute paging messages from the Core Network to individual femto-cells without running the risk that paging may not be received by the user equipment addressed thereby.

|Using global cell identifier for handover in a combined femto-cell/macro-cell environment
|When large number of femto cells compared to the number of macro cells is present, it is not possible to ensure that all the femto cells within the coverage area of a macro cell have individual and different frequencies and scrambling codes. So in a combined femto cell-macro cell environment, the macro cell RNC will be unable to determine, from the measurement report received from the UE, which cell (either a femto cell or macro cell) was measured.
|A method is provided which includes a network element for a cellular communication system, network element comprises a receiver for receiving a message that comprises a measurement report from a wireless communication unit. The network element further comprises signal processing logic, operably coupled to the receiver, for processing the received measurement report and extracting a global cell identifier therefrom, so the inventive concept provides an improvement to the use of measurement reports, which may be used to facilitate handover between cells in a cellular communication system.
