ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a preliminary background of a femtocell and its role in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It gives some about energy efficiency schemes for deployment including the criteria and examples in the literature. The chapter discusses the factors that affect the energy consumption of femtocell base station. It also discusses some challenges facing small cell networks. The chapter describes energy efficiency of user equipment when it is used under femtocell coverage and Open research issues. Femtocell connects mobile devices to the network through different wired and wireless technologies. The ability of IoT to sense, identify, and communicate has enabled the healthcare department to track and monitor all its objects such as people, equipment, and medicine among others. Personal and social areas are some of the other fields where IoT has been employed and has made some improvements in these areas.
