Shared Smallcell Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Network sharing is a commonly used solution for macro cellular networks when mobile operators want to exploit benefits of sharing infrastructure, typically to save network costs. For local area and indoor networks infrastructure sharing using distributed antenna systems (DAS) and repeaters are commonly used solutions to improve indoor coverage. For these applications multi-operator solutions are well known and supported by both standardization bodies and by collaboration practices. However, when local networks are discussed in terms of femtocell solutions, offloading or heterogeneous networks, the multi-operator context seems to be forgotten. Small cells are often presented in a singleoperator context. This does not comply with market demand and practices, since facility owners neither want one single mobile operator to dominate the capacity provision nor accept multiple indoor infrastructures provided by multiple mobile operators. In this paper we will discuss the business model implications of different multi-operator solutions for indoor deployment. The key findings are in the areas of: i) how multi-operator small cell solutions can fit into existing market practices when it comes to operator business, ii) how local network operators (3 parties) and outsourcing can play a role in the business landscape, and iii) how different (novel) spectrum allocation and access strategies can play a role for indoor network deployment.

Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation in Macrocell-Smallcell Heterogeneous Networks
—Cellular users in indoor environments have difficulty to enjoy high rate services supplied only by macro base station (MBS) due to the penetration loss. Smallcell, as a complement to Macrocell, provide the enhanced coverage through constituting heterogeneous network (HetNet) with MSBs. HetNet is an effective candidate for green communications. However, the interference in HetNet is still a ch...

متن کاملA centralized privacy-preserving framework for online social networks
There are some critical privacy concerns in the current online social networks (OSNs). Users' information is disclosed to different entities that they were not supposed to access. Furthermore, the notion of friendship is inadequate in OSNs since the degree of social relationships between users dynamically changes over the time. Additionally, users may define similar privacy settings for their f...
متن کاملIntelligent Interference Exploitation for Heterogeneous Cellular Networks against Eavesdropping
This paper explores the co-existence of a macro cell and a small cell for heterogeneous cellular networks, where a macro-cell base station (MBS) and small-cell base station (SBS) transmit to respective macro-cell user (MU) and smallcell user (SU) through their shared spectrum in the face of a common eavesdropper. We consider two spectrum sharing mechanisms, namely the overlay spectrum sharing (...
