Small Cells bring much needed capacity to high traffic areas. They enable mobile operators to support data intensive applications for their subscribers. A well-designed Small Cell network will increase throughput per user and provide a superior experience. Moving beyond personal mobile devices, Small Cells have the potential of providing comparable speeds to wireline, making smart cities and other IoT powered applications possible.
Multiple challenges exist in small cell deployments. Infrastructure is closer to sources of interference. Spectrum reuse and fade margins need to be managed. Locations often change, due to complex lease agreements, or zoning issues. Even with these issues, the most significant is determining the demand pattern effectively.
DGS provides a passive, time-based solution, which:
