This document summarizes operator plans for densifying mobile networks through 2028. It finds that both massive MIMO and small cells will be needed to handle increasing data traffic. Specifically:
- Both macro cell upgrades using massive MIMO and more localized small cells will be required to boost capacity as data use grows exponentially.
- Operators plan to greatly increase cell sites and antennas at all layers, with small cells growing even faster than traditional macro cells.
- Creating an integrated "HetSNet" combining macro, small cell, and WiFi layers will allow higher overall densities while managing interference.
- Key challenges include balancing capacity gains with rising costs, managing increasingly complex networks, and ensuring backhaul can

Seminar report on Millimeter Wave mobile communications for 5g cellularraghubraghu
The global bandwidth shortage facing wireless communication has motivated the exploration of the unutilized frequencies present in the frequency spectrum; this exploration has lead to the use of millimeter wave (mm-wave) frequency spectrum for future broadband cellular communication networks
Massive MIMO (also known as “Large-Scale Antenna Systems”, “Very Large MIMO”, “Hyper MIMO”, “Full-Dimension MIMO” and “ARGOS”) makes a clean break with current practice through the use of a large excess of service-antennas over active terminals and time division duplex operation. Extra antennas help by focusing energy into ever-smaller regions of space to bring huge improvements in throughput and radiated energy efficiency. Other benefits of massive MIMO include the extensive use of inexpensive low-power components, reduced latency, simplification of the media access control (MAC) layer, and robustness to intentional jamming. The anticipated throughput depend on the propagation environment providing asymptotically orthogonal channels to the terminals, but so far experiments have not disclosed any limitations in this regard. While massive MIMO renders many traditional research problems irrelevant, it uncovers entirely new problems that urgently need attention: the challenge of making many low-cost low-precision components that work effectively together, acquisition and synchronization for newly-joined terminals, the exploitation of extra degrees of freedom provided by the excess of service-antennas, reducing internal power consumption to achieve total energy efficiency reductions, and finding new deployment scenarios.
Free Space Optics (FSO) communications, also called Free Space Photonics (FSP) or Optical Wireless, refers to the transmission of modulated visible or infrared (IR) beams through the atmosphere to obtain optical communications. Like fiber, Free Space Optics (FSO) uses lasers to transmit data, but instead of enclosing the data stream in a glass fiber, it is transmitted through the air. Free Space Optics (FSO) works on the same basic principle as Infrared television remote controls, wireless keyboards
Maravedis-Rethink:White Paper Sensification SCWSWi-Fi 360
This short paper looks at the requirement for densification; the scale of capacity that operators will need by 2018; and the critical enablers, such as self-optimizing network (SON) technology. The data points referenced come from surveys of over 75 mobile operators by Maravedis-Rethink’s RAN Research Service. Fuller findings will be published in June 2014 in a report entitled ‘Towards the Hyper-Dense Network: the shape of the HetNet 2013-2019’.
Het nets up close - Webinar with ThinkSmallCell and IXIADavid Chambers
Slides from joint webinar by ThinkSmallCell and IXIA outlining the progress towards HetNets using Small Cells and the solution testing scenarios and capabilities required
In the past, we’ve seen a regular 10 year technology refresh with 2G, 3G and 4G each being added incrementally. Some believe that 5G will follow in the same cycle, although at the moment it remains vague and unpredictable. Others point out that the benefits of each new generation – mainly increasing spectral efficiency and releasing new spectrum – are reaching their full potential. This has been a key argument for small cell deployment, which increases capacity through frequency reuse without the need for additional spectrum or spectral efficiencies.
I've read white paper, "{18ca3d99-f643-4f3b-9f38-c8e2ab910ce8}_SenzaFili_Densification.pdf" that describes direction of mobile network densification based on interview with following companies
; network equipment vendors
; test equipment vendors
; mobile netowork operator
; communication network broker, neutral hosts
I have following questions
- yhkim: How many middleprise will deploy mobile network densification?
- yhkim: Multiple backhaul usage: fiber is primary, wireless is secondary. Is it right?
- yhkim: Is there possibility for small cell to be deployed without additional bands?

Optimizing the HetNet: Key decision points for mobile network operators webinarWi-Fi 360
Mobile network operators (MNOs) are now in the process of determining their network strategies for the next five years, and in many cases these involve a move towards heterogeneous networks (HetNets).
These networks will involve large numbers of cells, based on different technologies and spectrum bands. HetNets need to be fully optimized to deliver the performance and return on investment that MNOs need. And this will require many new tools including self-optimizing networks (SON).
Hear Caroline Gabriel, Research Director at Maravedis Rethink Wireless Infrastructure Analysts share key findings of its Optimizing the HetNet white paper, which was based on interviews with leading MNOs regarding their RAN optimization strategies. In particular, she will address a critical choice – whether to opt for a third party, multivendor solution or leverage incumbent vendor-supplied tools. Accompanying Ms. Gabriel is Neil Coleman, Director of Marketing at Amdocs. He delved into the key role that Amdocs RAN solutions will play in this complex HetNet environment.
RAN dimensioning: Lessons learned by TelstraWi-Fi 360
When investing CAPEX in capacity related Radio Access Network infrastructure, Telstra tries to balance a number of competing goals: maximize the customer experience; for the largest number of customers; with the most effective use of invested capital; through the selective expansion of network hardware.
Because modern wireless networks rely on soft capacity to efficiently provide as much capacity as possible, proper RAN dimensioning must be able to accurately take the effects of soft capacity into account. Current methodology for KPI thresholds, however, cannot provide an accurate understanding of customer experience.
During this exclusive webinar featuring prominent speakers from Telstra, Ascom and Maravedis-Rethink, we will discuss a more effective approach to understanding the relationship of soft capacity and customer experience.
Participants in the webinar will learn how this better approach to RAN dimensioning can lead to improved customer experience and more efficient use of CAPEX.
In addition, Research Director Caroline Gabriel will discuss the broader issues of optimizing and dimensioning the access network, with relation to recent research conducted with a broad base of major mobile operators worldwide.
HETNET Strategies with Oi Brazil and Maravedis-Rethink Sept 2014Wi-Fi 360
Operators are moving towards hyper-dense networks made up of far smaller cells of coverage. However, many technologies will be used to fill those cells – self-contained mini-base stations, enhanced WiFi hotspots, DAS and distributed radio systems. Even Cloud-RAN will start to make an appearance, with operators often more willing to experiment with new virtualized architectures in their small cell layers. This webinar will examine the mixture of technologies which will go into the dense small cell network of 2015-2019, and the future impact of virtualization, based on Maravedis-Rethink’s most recent surveys of over 100 mobile and converged operators worldwide.
Some key trends which explored:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
