since it achieves better coverage and capacity and low cost for
deployment and maintenance. However, their performance can be
compromised by the cross-tier interference with existing macrocell
infrastructure or between adjacent femtocells, especially in
the case of co-channel deployment. One way to address this,
is adjusting the transmit power of every femto base station
with respect for overall performance. To this direction, we have
implemented a framework that simulates femtocell overlays over
LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) macrocellular systems. The framework
allows power management over user-defined femtocell deployment,
deciding their power levels according to three different
power schemes. The resulting throughput is presented for every
point of the macrocell in a user-friendly GUI. In this paper, we
present the design of this framework and discuss the results.
