2. Interference by Femto ABS Dense Deployment In many countries, the femto ABSs are expected to be densely deployed within certain area (e.g apartment, window-to-window house) –Severe interference may happen since all the femtocell traffics are transmitted over the same licensed spectrum

3. Desires on Local Interference Coordination among Femto ABSs It is important for Femto ABSs to coordinate local interference –Option 1: by Over The Air (OTA) signaling More possibly to be measurement based –Option 2: by backhaul network May be location based
