Interference mitigation and WLAN efficiency in modern buildings using energy saving techniques and FSS

Abstract
Femtocells have been widely installed inside homes, offices and business centers to enhance quality, coverage and capacity of wireless network. But interference is one of the drawbacks which restricts their use in indoor environments. However, in modern buildings FC-FC interference can be mitigated using RadioClear (RC) thin film pasted on an ordinary glass while FC-MC interference can be mitigated using energy saving glass as exterior walls or windows. Also in a scenario where one WLAN router is serving two or more than two rooms, a fractal bandpass FSS can be etched in the RC film pasted on ordinary glass partition to improve transmission. With this technique interference can be mitigated, frequency reuse factor can be minimized, WLAN security and availability can be ensured and building temperature can be maintained in harsh weather conditions.
