Popis: The concept of extending traditional macrocell cellular structure with small cells (like femtocells) in next-generation mobile networks (e. g., Long Term Evolution Advanced) provides a great opportunity to improve coverage and enhance data rate. Femtocells are cost efficient, indoor base stations. These femtocells can operate in closed mode i. e. only restricted users connection are allowed. Therefore, if the number of deployed femtocells is significant, that can dramatically modify the interference pattern of a macrocell. Thus mobile service providers have to pay attention for the number of simultaneously operating femtocells and encroach, if necessary, to provide appropriate service level to every mobile user. In this paper we provide an analytic framework to characterize the upper bound of service outage probability for a potential macrocell user in a two-tier mobile system, when the radio channels are infected by Nakagami- $$m$$ m fading. In our proposal the femtocells are operating in closed mode and deployed into a designated macrocell, hence every femtocell increases the interference level. The spatial location femtocells is modelled with Poisson cluster process. Compared to traditional grid structure or completely spatial random Poisson point process femtocell deployment, cluster based layout may provides more life realistic deployment scenario. To evaluate the upper bound of service outage we use the tools of stochastic geometry.
