Abstract

The use of a group of femtocells to jointly provide coverage in an enterprise environment introduces several challenges in the introduction of self-configuration and self-optimization capabilities required for plug-and-play styles of deployment. In this paper, an approach to automatically derive a distributed algorithm to dynamically optimize the coverage of a femtocell group using genetic programming is described. The resulting evolved algorithm showed the ability to optimize the coverage well, and is able to offer increased overall network capacity compared with a fixed coverage femtocell deployment.
