Femtocell Performance Over Non-SLA xDSL Access Network

Abstract

This chapter describes the femtocell performance over xDSL access network as the backhaul. This work has been conducted as part of TELKOM contribution to FREEDOM Project (www.ict-freedom.eu) which consists of two phases of measurements and analysis. The first phase addressed the performance of ADSL2, ADSL2+ as a function of distance. It also observes the population of user’s density enjoying certain attainable rate or less. Furthermore it also addresses transmission delay of xDSL over different bandwidth profiles. DSL backhaul quality model is derived in order to address different qualities of backhaul. The model can be used in elaboration of RRM, scheduling and system level simulation which need to take into account the backhaul quality.
