Abstract
Mobile phone users both for voice and data have increased tremendously in the last decade thereby making it necessary for service providers in the telecommunication industry maintain quality of service as much as possible. The huge complaint from indoor mobile users concerning signal coverage and capacity has made it a necessity to conduct this research. The aim of this research is to minimize interference among indoor phone subscribers in long term evolution (LTE) based heterogeneous networks using fast frequency reuse technique. Femtocells are deployed in varying number within the macrocell coverage area. For communication between femto and macro users within the network, a fast frequency response technique was proposed and parameters such as path loss, SINR and channel capacities were determined to ascertain the level of performance of the system when compared with a situation with random and unplanned deployment. Results show that a high SINR results when the bit error rate is low, this consequently improves communication and throughput in the network. The high values of throughputs for edge macro-femto users compared to inner edge-macro users are due to distance of macro and femto users from the macrocell. As femtocells increase for edge macro-femto users within the coverage area, throughputs reduced gradually
