Although the technology of femtocells is highly promising, many challenging problems should be addressed before fully harvesting its potential. In this paper, we investigate the problem of cell association and handover management in femtocell networks. Two extreme cases for cell association are first discussed and analyzed. Then we propose our algorithm to maximize network capacity while achieving fairness among users. Based on this algorithm, we further develop a handover algorithm to reduce the number of unnecessary handovers using Bayesian estimation. The proposed handover algorithm is demonstrated to outperform a heuristic scheme with considerable gains in our simulation study.
