dc.description.abstractTwo-tier macrocell-femtocell network is considered an efficient solution to enhance area spectral-efficiency, improve cell coverage and provide better quality-of-service (QoS) to mobile users. However, interference and mobility management are considered to be the major issues for successful deployment of macrocell-femtocell network. In this thesis, a unified framework is developed for interference management, resource allocation, and call admission control (CAC) for two-tier macrocell-femtocell network. Fractional frequency reuse (FFR) is considered to provide both link-level and call-level QoS measures for mobile users. In this framework, joint resource allocation and interference coordination problem is formulated as an optimization problem to obtain design parameters for sectored FFR. The CAC problem is formulated as Semi-Markov Decision Process and Value Iteration Algorithm is used to obtain optimal admission control policy. Performance of this framework is evaluated through simulations. The performance evaluation results show that the proposed framework outperforms traditional non-optimized FFR scheme in two-tier network.en_US
