Multi-Carrier Macrocell Femtocell Deployment-A Reverse Link Capacity Analysis

In this paper, we study the reverse link (RL) capacity of a co-channel macrocell-femtocell network, where the macrocell and femtocell networks share the same carrier. The analysis is done based on an outage probability criterion, and we use this analysis further to compare the capacities of different practical multi-carrier macrocell-femtocell deployment strategies.
