Acknowledgements

I have had the privilege to work with some truly inspiring people over the last couple of years within the Femto Forum, who have broadened my exposure to the mobile world well beyond the specifics of femtocells. These are far too numerous to name. However, I must acknowledge Will Franks, Pete Keevill and Len Schuch for drawing the potential for femtocells to my attention in the first place. Many other individuals have provided great assistance in ideas, material and review, in particular Rupert Baines, Andy Tiller, Doug Knisely, Doug Pulley, Chris Smart, Alan Carter, Vicki Griffiths, Asan Khan, John Cullen, William Webb and Heather Kirksey. I am very grateful to Mike Short for his excellent foreword.

The FAP data model illustrated in Chapter 6 is based on pioneering work done by Taka Yoshizawa, Michel Renaldo and Ian MacPherson in the Femto Forum. Their work has contributed significantly in moving femtocells closer towards a true ‘plug and play’ technology.
