Abstract
With the introduction of LTE and LTE-Advance, small cell technology is gradually highlighted. Femtocell as one of the economical small cell technology that attracts attention by improving coverage and capacity. Nevertheless, the deployment of Femtocell stirs up the issue of cross-tier interference. The hybrid infrastructure which built up of Macrocell and small cell layers interferences each other especially in co-channel scenario. Many discussions are initiated to resolve the issue such as Femtocell base station transmit power control scheme, radio resource allocation scheme. In this paper, the framework of Long Term Evolution- Advanced (LTE-A) has been simulated. The resulting contour plots do not miss out every single point in the network. In addition, a user friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) is developed to ease the configuration process of the simulation.
