The Femto Forum has published an operator-friendly guide to the LTE femtocell architecture options in the 3GPP standard.
The report finds that the three femtocell architecture options outlined in the LTE standard comprehensively support a wide variety of operator deployment scenarios.
It details exactly what operators need to consider in order to make the most prudent architecture choice, based on their specific business and technology circumstances.
Also, the report finds that operator choice should be dictated by how quickly they wish to bring a femtocell service to market, their current network architecture and how widely they intend to deploy femtocells in the longer term.
