In a small office/home (SOHO) femtocell network comprising sets of antennas (52), each set of antennas (eg. 52a-c) is switched between active and inactive states based on the location of wireless device (eg. laptop 54) received via a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag from the device. This overcomes indoor interference in the femtocell without requiring the Home Node B (HNB) antennas to operate wastefully at fixed transmission power. A reference antenna is continually active to maintain signalling with the user equipments (UEs) via millimetre-wave (mmWave) or power line connections. |
