DATA TRAFFIC AND SPECTRUM 33

SOLUTIONS TO CAPACITY The extraordinary growth in wireless data traffic is putting immense strain on the operator s network. To address this demand and increase capacity, operators have 5 primary tools at their disposal: 1. Adding Cell Sites is an effective but expensive approach to adding capacity. In general adding new real estate is time consuming and increasingly prohibitive. With median inter-site distances dropping from 5km to 2km and recently to less than 200m in dense urban areas, the operator has less choice in selecting affordable property. Doubling the number of cell sites approximately doubles the network capacity and the throughput per user (assuming the user density stays constant), and greatly improves the peak user and the aggregate throughput per km2. 2. Adding sectors, such as changing from 3 sectors to 6 sectors, is a useful way to approximate the introduction of new cells. However, this does not quite double the capacity as the petals of 6 sector coverage do not interleave as well as 3 sector coverage, and the fractional overlap of 6 sectors is greater. This also challenges handoff processing when near highways. This is a common approach in dense urban areas where rooftops are available. There is about a 70% increase in capacity in moving from 3 to 6 sectors in an environment with low angle spread (where the base station is located above the clutter).
SOLUTIONS TO CAPACITY 3. Adding Carriers (or more accurately, bandwidth) directly adds to capacity. The LTE standard is particularly adept at utilizing increased bandwidth. In addition, in the USA, the FCC permits increasing radiated power with the bandwidth in the lower 700 MHz bands providing improved penetration and coverage. Doubling bandwidth at least doubles throughput. 4. Improved air interface capabilities, It has been observed that, with improvements in air interface (while leaving everything else the same such as bandwidth and antenna configuration) we are seeing diminishing returns on improvements. It is clear that something more than simply increasing modulation and coding rates is needed. 5. Smart antennas provide the next substantial increase in throughput. The peak data rates tend to be proportional to the number of send and receive antennas, so 4x4 MIMO is capable of serving twice the peak data rates as 2x2 MIMO systems.

SMART ANTENNAS
SMART ANTENNAS A smart antenna system combines an antenna array with digital signalprocessing capability to transmit and receive in a predefined or adaptive, spatially sensitive manner. This enables such a system to change the directionality of its radiation patterns in response to the particular signal environment. This results in dramatically increased performance characteristics of a wireless system. Switched Beam a finite number of fixed, predefined patterns or combining strategies (sectors). comprises only a basic switching function between separate directive antennas or predefined beams of an array Adaptive Array an infinite number of patterns (scenario-based) that are adjusted in real time. continuous tracking can be achieved by including a direction of arrival (DoA) algorithm for the signal received from the user can be viewed as a generalization of the switched lobe concept

BENEFITS OF SMART AND MIMO ANTENNAS
MASSIVE MIMO Massive MIMO is the subject of 5G At 5G frequencies, wavelength gets smaller ( 1cm at 30Ghz, 0.5cm at 60Ghz) So it becomes possible to make array antennas with big numbers of elements such as 64x64 and 128x128. Massive MIMO brings many further advantages of MIMO technology in 5G.
