Abstract:

An overview was given for femtocell in details on recent research progress.Three topics were mainly addressed in two-tier femtocell-macrocell wireless networks:spectrum allocation,interference management and access control.In addition,backhaul,user mobility,fairness and other related issues were studied as well.In the end,the prospects of femtocell application and future trends were concluded.

Key words: femtocell, two-tier networks, macrocell, spectrum allocation, interference management, access control, backhaul
