Handover procedure between macrocell and femtocell in long term evolution (LTE) network / Nurul Afzan Zakaria

Femtocell is a small base station that deployed in homes, buildings or other locations and designed to improve indoor capacity and signal coverage, and also reduce the macrocell traffic. Femtocell becomes a solution for indoor capacity and coverage issues. Frequent and unnecessary handover is anothe...
