Abstract:

User demands are so high these days that operators are compelled to think in alternate dimensions to increase the capacity with little modifications in the existing system. Small Cell Wi-Fi is one of the possible solutions which is used to offload the data access request from the macro cellular Base Station (BS) to Small Cell Base Station (SCBS). This work considers Access Point (AP) as the SCBS. Algorithms related to small cell formation and locating AP positions for the deployment are discussed. Results are taken in terms of the coverage for the clustering techniques and are used for comparison. Offloading process is modelled as Markov Chain by assigning weights to optimize the calculations.

Keywords:

Small Cell, Wi-Fi, SCBS, Access Point, Offload.
