LIMITATIONSLIMITATIONS
• A central controller is needed for assigning the values of compensation
factor and they have not focused on downlink interference mitigation.
• Adjusting transmit power of HeNB based on HUE measurement report
dose not consider about QoS of MUE.
• As the number of controlling signals are increased it is a time consuming
process.
• Pathloss model considered for analysis is based on the eNb and it has not
considered about the HeNB.

INFERENCEINFERENCE
• In LOS condition of MUE with respect to HeNB the received interference
power of MUE is more. Hence the SINR of MUE is low. Whereas, in NLOS
condition of MUE w.r.t HeNB the received interference power of MUE is
less . Hence the SINR of MUE is high.
• When the transmit power of HeNB is reduced the SINR of MUE is increased .
• When distance of MUE increases from the HeNB the SINR of MUE also
increases. Whereas, if the distance of MUE increases from the MBS the SINR
decreases.

32. 05/22/17 32
CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORKSCONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORKS
• Cross-Tier interference mitigation provides a mean to increase the QoS of
Macro UE and also increase the network capacity.
• A pathloss based power control Technique is used to mitigate the cross-tier
interference. In which, transmit power is assigned by analyzing the path loss
with respect to location of the user and HeNB for both LOS and NLOS
condition.
• Hence, enhancement in QoS of both the Macro and Femto cell could be
achieved based on SINR and transmit power.
• This work can be further extended by considering co-tier interference, and
increasing the number of UE’s and number of Femto Base Station.
