Uplink Capacity
This paper presents an uplink capacity analysis and
interference avoidance technique for a femtocell based two-tier
DS-CDMA network using shared spectrum. Assuming randomly
distributed macrocell users and femtocell base stations (BS), we
evaluate a network-wide area spectral efficiency metric called the
operating contour (OC) defined as the feasible combinations of
the average macrocell users and femtocell BS per cell-site that
meet a target outage constraint ǫ. A contribution of this work
is an accurate characterization of the uplink outage probability
taking cross-tier power control, path-loss and shadowing effects
into account. We show that a time-hopped CDMA physical
layer coupled with sectorized receive antennas shows dramatic
performance improvements in both light and heavily loaded twotier
networks, relative to a split spectrum two-tier network with
omnidirectional femtocell antennas. These results provide insights
into design of robust shared spectrum two-tier networks which
achieve high area spectral efficiency
