The need to increase the number of base stations to provide wider and more dense coverage has led to the creation of small cells. Small cells are a new part of the 5G platform that increase network capacity and speed, while also having a lower deployment cost than macrocells.
What is 5G & how does it affect a communication system?
The construction of the 5G network in the communication system can potentially change future life and is one of the most cutting-edge engineering fields today. The 5G base station is the core equipment of the 5G network, and the performance of the base station directly affects the deployment of the 5G network.
A cell tower (also called a macrocell) is a huge umbrella used to provide radio signals to thousands of users in large areas with minimal obstructions. To extend the coverage of a macrocell, distributive antenna systems (DASs) are used in conjunction with the cell tower.
Increasing the frequency increases the speed of sending/ receiving signals and helps shrink the size of the antenna, which in turn shrinks the size of the cell. Shorter wavelengths result in a decrease in signal penetration and radius, reinforcing the need for small cells. How do small cells fit into the 5G ecosystem?
