Abstract

Femtocells are small base stations that provide radio coverage for mobile devices in homes or office areas. In this paper, we consider the optimisation of a number of femtocells that provide joint coverage in enterprise environments. In such an environment, femtocells should minimise coverage overlap and coverage holes and ensure a balanced traffic workload among them. We use statistical verification techniques to monitor the probabilistic correctness of a given femtocell configuration at runtime. If there is any violation of the desired level of service, a self-optimisation procedure is triggered to improve the current configuration. Our evaluation results show that, compared with fixed time, interval-based optimisation, our approach achieves better coverage and can detect goal violations quickly with a given level of confidence when they occur frequently. It can also avoid unnecessary self-optimisation cycles, reducing the cost of self-optimisation.
