Abstract
The rapid integrations of wireless controls in mechatronics, the broadening applications of wireless radio communications in aviation, and the exponential increase in the growth of mobile phone users in the last decade have made it necessary to expand the capacity of GSM users and ultimately increase the system performance. It has also become imperative for service providers to ensure adequate coverage is provided for all mobile users in areas with poor or no service. Even though many solutions such as distributed antenna system, relays, macrocells, and picocells were developed but they could not proffer the needed solution to indoor users. In this perspective, researchers were of the opinion that femtocells have a gifted technology to enhance indoor coverage because of properties such as short power, short coverage area, reduced distance between device and user and being a plug and play device. It was however discovered that research findings on large deployment of femtocells does not corroborate when a handful is deployed. This study therefore examines the influence of femtocells network on a small size indoor environment using ITU-R and WINNER II path loss models. To accomplish this, femtocells were modeled in six apartments of a building and parameters such as path loss, received power and signal to interference plus noise ratio were determined to ascertain the performance of a particular femtocell under the influence of co-tier interference. Results show that the ITU-R model was found to experience lower path losses which produced higher received powers than WINNER II (-57.0445dBm on the average).
