BeFEMTO Objectives & Approach
� Overall Goal
To research & develop evolved LTE-A based femtocell technologies that accelerate cost-effective
provision of ubiquitous broadband services by convergence b/w fixed and wireless broadband
� Approach� Near-term solutions: Novel techniques for standalone femtocells for early deployment
� Long-term solutions: Novel concepts of networked femtocells, fixed outdoor relay femtocellsfor enhancing cell-edge capacity, and mobile femtocells in public transport, all with SONcapabilities for minimising OPEX and simplifying remote network management
� Validation: Through 4 experimental testbeds, mathematical analysis, and simulation tools
� Objectives� High Spectral Efficiency: 8 bits/s/Hz/cell
� Maximum Mean Transmit Power: 10 mW
� Support infrastructure and spectrum sharing
� Enabling new services for home, enterprise and mobile (transportation) environments.
� New and novel use of femto technology in outdoor environments

Business Model
In BeFEMTO, four business cases are investigated:
- One off fee: the user pays 50€ once, and the monthly payment does not change (35€/month)
- No fee: the user does not pay for the femtocell, and the monthly payment does not change (35€/month)
- Decrease: the user does not pay for the femtocell, and the monthly payment decreases by 5€ to 30€/month
- Increase: the user does not pay for the femtocell, and the monthly payment increases by 5€ to 40€/month

connecting a network of femtocells or the fixed broadband backhaul.

Mobile traffic forecasts 2010-2020
►Significantly, at least 80% of the traffic volume remains generated by users, leading to
large variations of the total mobile traffic both in terms of time and space variations of
traffic.
►Future mobile networks must be designed to cope with such variation of traffic and
uneven traffic distribution, while at the same time maintaining a permanent and extensive
geographical coverage in order to provide continuity of service to customers.
►These opposite constraints are some of the most significant future challenges for
operators.
From 2010 to 2020, total daily mobile traffic in the representative Western Europeancountry will grow 67 times from 186 TB to 12540 TB.
