Technoeconomical Analysis of Macrocell and Femtocell Based HetNet under Different Deployment Constraints

Figure 1

Suburban scenario used in the analysis. The 3-sector macrocell sites are deployed using clover-leaf (modified hexagonal) layout, with certain intersite distance (ISD). The position and orientation of the macrocell sectors are illustrated by red arrows. Only one tier of macrocells is shown, whereas the analysis considers two tiers of macrocell interferers. The femtocells are only deployed on the ground floor level.
