- This journal paper presents a new cell range expansion framework for small, low-power femtocell networks, which frames the theory of scalable radio coverage for femtocells, and its causal impact on the interference performance nexus. An earlier conference version won the Best Paper Prize at WPMC. The framework presented in this substantially extended version has been cited by amongst others (Alamu et al., 2020) as a demonstrably viable macrocell-to-femtocell interference management solution for LTE-advanced networks. Its practical significance is it successfully supports high data-rate applications and services in indoor environments, whilst minimising the requisite macrocell handover rate for all deployed femtocells.
