Abstract
In this paper we introduce Stienen's model for analysing the performance of a non-uniform two-tier networks. The topology of the network consists of a set of macro base stations (MBSs) uniformly deployed, and a set of femtocell access points (FAPs) deployed only outside exclusion areas (discs) surrounding the MBSs. The MBSs serve users within the innermost areas of each macrocell, while the femtocells are restricted to serve users located in the outermost areas towards the edge of the macrocells. Results show that the edge user performance in terms of coverage is highly increased by the addition of femtocells. Moreover, the coverage in the macrocell tier can be also increased in comparison with a macrocell-only network if the number of femtocells deployed is judiciously selected. Furthermore, a well balanced network can be achieved, where the same performance is expected throughout the entire area.
