In recent years, with the rapid increase in the number of mobile connected devices and data traffic, mobile operators have been trying to find solutions to provide better coverage and capacity for mobile users. In this respect, deployment of femtocells is a promising solution. This paper presents performability analysis of femtocells. Unlike the existing studies, the potential reduction of the service capacity due to failures are considered as well as various performance metrics such as throughput, mean queue length, response time, and energy consumption. In other words, the femtocells are modelled as fault tolerant wireless communication systems, considering factors such as mobility of the mobile users, multiple channels for the femtocells, and failure/repair behaviour of the channels for more realistic performance measures. A typical scenario is considered for smart-city applications as case study where a set of femtocells are deployed within the coverage area of a macrocell. The numerical results presented show the accuracy of the proposed model as an abstraction of a femtocell system. The results also reveal that the computational efficiency of the analytical model is significantly better than simulation.

Modelling Green Femtocells in Smart-grids Al-Turjman, Fadi M. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-08-01) On going demands to connect massive amounts of the heterogeneous mobile devices and data traffics make the mobile operators in desperate need to find energy-efficient solutions for coverage and real-time services. Accordingly, mobile femtocells are found to be a promising solution in the coming few decades. This paper presents energy-based analysis for mobile femtocells in Ultra-Large Scale (ULS) applications such as the smart-grid. The potential reduction of the consumed energy and service interruption due...
Green Femtocells in the IoT Era: Traffic Modeling and Challenges - An Overview Al-Turjman, Fadi; Ever, Enver; Zahmatkesh, Hadi (2017-11-01) The rapid increase in numbers of communicating devices, such as smartphones, PDAs, and notebooks, is causing the demand for mobile data traffic to grow significantly. In recent years, mobile operators have been trying to find solutions to increase the network capacity in order to satisfy mobile users' requests and meet the requirements in terms of various quality of service measures in the case of high mobile data traffic. With ever increasing demand from mobile users and implementations in the area of IoT,...
Semantic prefetching and caching in 5G Mehteroğlu, Can; Onur, Ertan; Department of Computer Engineering (2017) Recent popularity of mobile devices increased the demand for mobile network services and applications that require minimal delay. 5G mobile networks are expected to provide much lesser delay than the present mobile networks. One of the conventional ways for decreasing latency is caching content closer to end users. However, currently deployed methods are not effective enough. In this thesis, we propose a new astute caching strategy that is able to smartly predict subsequent user requests and prefetch necess...
Semantic Edge Caching and Prefetching in 5G MEHTEROĞLU, Can; DURMUŞ, Yunus; Onur, Ertan (2017-01-11) Recent popularity of mobile devices increased the demand for mobile network services and applications that require minimal delay. 5G mobile networks are expected to provide much lesser delay than the present mobile networks. One of the conventional ways for decreasing the latency is caching the content closer to the end user. However, currently deployed methods are not effective enough. In this work-in-progress paper, we propose a new astute caching strategy that is able to smartly predict subsequent user r...
Modelling mobile telecommunications services for forecasting purposes : a cross - country analysis Eser, Eren; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Department of Information Systems (2012) Mobile telecommunications industry has experienced high growth rates for the recent 30 years. Accordingly, forecasting the future of mobile telecommunications services is important not only for mobile operators but also for all stakeholders in this industry ranging from handset manufacturers to vendors. In this thesis, the diffusion of mobile telecommunications services in 20 countries from different regions around the world is examined for the period of 1981 to 2010 with special emphasis on Turkey, in orde...
