Abstract

The use of small cells is one of the key elements for future wireless networks, which face ever-increasing demand for higher capacity. In this paper, we investigate the effect of introducing small cells in IEEE 802.11 wireless networks where access points of low transmit powers are mixed with access points of normal transmit powers. We use Poisson point processes to randomly locate normal access points, low-powered access points for small cells, and wireless users in a given area. We evaluate the effect of introducing small cells in the point of fairness among the wireless network users through simulations.
