Communication operators should prepare for 5G base station deployment

Does 5G base station deployment optimization solve the problems of unreasonable deployment?

To solve the problems of unreasonable deployment and high construction costs caused by the rapid increase of the fifth generation (5 G) base stations, this article proposes a 5 G base station deployment optimization method that considers coverage and cost weights for certain areas in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

How can a 5G base station be optimized?

This article proposes an optimization approach for the deployment of 5G base stations. Initially, a continuous wave (CW) test is conducted in the planned area to acquire drive test data. These data, along with the least squares method, are utilized to calibrate the signal propagation model.

How 5G mobile communication technology is affecting the network capacity?

1. Introduction With the rapid development of 5G mobile communication technology, the number of 5G users has significantly increased, leading to a corresponding expansion in network capacity . To meet the growing user demand, researchers have begun to focus on improving the throughput of base stations (e.g. Refs. [2, 3]).

Why is 5G network planning important?

While enhancing the performance of individual base stations is crucial, the synergistic effect among all base stations is equally indispensable for further enhancing the overall performance of 5G communication systems. Therefore, addressing the challenges of 5G wireless network planning has become increasingly important .
