Introduction: Mobile RAN landscape Booming data traffic calls for mobile RAN technology and architecture evolution Macro Cell trends megasites More sectors, carrier aggregation, advanced antenna systems C-RAN, SDN trend even in RAN Small Cells (outdoor) offload Macro cells and enhance capacity Heterogeneous (*) networks (HetNETs): Interworking RATs (HSPA+, LTE FDD/TDD, LTE-A, WiFi), frequency layers, types of cell Backhaul: Appropriate solution mix must facilitate rapid network rollout, meet capacity, cost and QoS targets and allow easy management (*) Heterogeneous: made up of different kinds 8
Small cells could be the answer Small-Cell can ease congestion in busy areas by serving hot spots, leaving macro-layer to deal with wide-area high mobility outdoor users 9
