Objective The objective of this lecture is to provide an overview over the challenges of providing coverage and capacity when conventional macro-cells are unavailable or not feasible. The lecture will explain
  • What small cells are and what concepts exists
  • What we mean with NetNets
  • The supporting network architecture for the different small cell concepts

Understand the Mobile Broadband technologies
