The Femtocell as Return Channel: A Proposal for Brazilian Amazon Region Interactive Digital TV

This work analyses the feasibility of use Femtocells networks to provide return channel on Digital TV. The results were compared with a similar simulation using Wimax networks. The same numbers of users was used to create two scenarios, the first using only WiMAX networks, and the second using femto...

Description
Summary:This work analyses the feasibility of use Femtocells networks to provide return channel on Digital TV. The results were compared with a similar simulation using Wimax networks. The same numbers of users was used to create two scenarios, the first using only WiMAX networks, and the second using femtocell network. The results show that femtocell networking is a promising solution for the return channel of Brazilian interactive digital TV, especially at Amazon Region where there are great distances and lacking communication networks.
