Indoor Airlink Data Rate (kbps)
This figure summarizes our comparison between indoor coverage for femtocells and the macro network. The X Axis represents the requested
1xEV-DO Rev. A airlink data rate and the Y Axis represents the probability that the indoor requested data rate exceeds the X Axis. These results
were taken on a network in the Americas and are representative of EVDO and HSPA networks around the world

29. Femtozone Application Building Blocks
1. Femto Application Client (resides in femtocell or femtomodule)
Implements the “local” application logic
Connects to home devices, synchronizes with Application Server, traverses
home firewalls, sets up local communications, provides data format and media
conversion/handling, etc.
2. Optional Network Application Server
Adds a network portion to the application
Provides service orchestration, network application business logic, convergence
with other services, remote access, security and authentication, service
backend, accounting, service management, manages provisioning and updates,
etc.
3. Optional Handset client (browser-based access may be used)
Runs the mobile portion of the application
Synchronizes with application Server and Femto Client and Network Application
Server, runs handset GUI, manages handset resources, boosts performance,
monitors perceived quality of experience, etc.
