Evolution of the Cellular Base Station
COMPANY PUBLIC 12
Massive MIMO
• Active Antenna Solutions enable a
leap in capacity by utilizing
between 16 and 64 transmit and
receive paths in a single active
system.
• TDD-mMIMO systems are leading
the way at 2.6 GHz and 3.5 GHz
bands but will expand to FDD and
other frequencies as well.
• Although system costs are
currently higher than traditional
RRH, significant throughput
improvements justify the
investment.
COMPANY PUBLIC 13
mmWave Solutions
• To improve capacity even further,
the industry is looking to mmWave
frequencies ranging from 24 GHz to
39 GHz, enabling over 1 GHz of
bandwidth.
• Beamforming will enable spatial
multiplexing for increased spectrum
reuse.
• Solutions include Fixed Wireless
Access as well as Radio Access
Networks.
COMPANY PUBLIC 14
Throughput Evolution
Massive MIMO
• Used in Macro BTS
• Existing spectrum + new bands below 6 GHz
• More data with LTE and existing handsets
• Possible now
• Least expensive option to increase throughput,
even at increased equipment cost
Microwave & Millimeterwave Frequencies
• > 6 GHz on WRC-2019 agenda
• GHz bandwidth has potential to carry a lot of data
• Propagation and building penetration issues force
“small cell” deployments – many of them needed
• Significant increase of throughput – will see use
starting 2020
Today:
LTE
Tomorrow:
mMIMO + LTE
After 2020:
