Huawei has announced it has made achievements towards realizing key 4.5G/5G technologies in all small cell products, including LampSite, Pico, Micro, and Book RRU.
The vendor said it has made a series of significant breakthroughs in air interface solutions applicable to small cells, including 256QAM modulation, carrier aggregation, Licensed-Assisted Access (LAA), and candidate technologies for 5G, enabling networks to deliver a data rate at the xGbps level.
The company also demonstrated its 5G technologies on LampSite and Book RRU solutions through a collaboration with China Mobile.
Constantly improving the service experience has become a paramount concern for mobile operators that are facing mounting challenges in increasing network capacity in airports, railway stations, shopping malls, commercial blocks, and many other indoor and outdoor hotspots where 80% of data traffic is generated.
For mobile operators it is now a matter of urgency to increase network capacity in these places, while at the same time they must contend with a constant decrease in their input-output ratio and declining revenues as bandwidth increases.
Huawei’s innovation involves moving network gateways and core network elements downstream, flattening the network architecture and shortening service delays to within 10ms.
A further Huawei innovation - Service Anchor - allows networks to provide capability openness functions, enabling a variety of value-added services based on high-accuracy indoor positioning technology and allowing subscribers to experience a service experience equivalent to 4.5G and 5G networks.
Huawei has also introduced innovations in moving network controller nodes downstream. For example, Service Anchor — an enterprise service gateway — supports local data transfer and local network control.
With these key technologies, the end-to-end service delay can be reduced to within 10ms, making cloud computing, local virtual reality, local video broadcasting, and real-time control possible.
