v
In this paper analysis on interference impact on femtocells have been provided.
v
When a non-CSG MS comes close to the femtocell in question, the macrocell BS makes the decision (based on the CSG access list exchanged from the femtocell) that unnecessary handover will not be initiated, saving radio resource and signaling load on the network.
v
At the same time various interference mitigation mechanisms can be operated. 5/8/12 By Sonam Aggarwal

Femtocell Interference Scenarios
1111
4 main interference scenarios are:
v
Femtocells interfering with the base stations on same frequency
v
Base station interfering with the femtocells on the same frequency
v
Closely spaced femtocells interfering with each other
v
User equipment transmitting with a sufficiently high power such that it is received by more than one base station By Sonam Aggarwal
