The Promise of 5G for Network Densification
Dense networks
Reducing the size of cells provides
a much more overall effective use
of the available spectrum
Smart antennas
5G cellular systems will leverage
smart antennas to alter the
downlink beam direction to limit
interference and increase overall
cell capacity
Measurement
• Multi-cell coordination of spatial coverage

• Platform flexibility is essential to move
coordination processing closer to small cell or Fronthaul
