55. Smart Office/Company Network (Femtocells approach)
November 2005

Smart Office/Company Network
(Femtocells approach)
White Space Radio should provide seamless connection for mobile users moving within the building or walking/driving through the territory belonging to one company
The use of femtocells, deployed in the office or on the buildings of a company, is considered
White Space Radio should support handover between neighboring femtocells and/or simultaneous connection with more than two transmitters (base station or relay)
Example: the worker of a company is making a call via femtocell and is walking along the corridors inside the building and then continues his walk between different building of one company.
Such a use-case might be extended, e.g. to provide near-ubiquitous service in urban scenarios etc.
