Abstract:
Indoor services contribute over 70% of the traffic in the current mobile system, and are expected to more dominate in the 5G era. Thus, an indoor system that can ensure line-of-sight (LOS) transmission with the end users in each indoor chamber will play a key role in achieving efficient operation of the 5G mobile systems. The talk firstly gives an overview on the indoor systems that have been reported and commercially deployed. Then a new antenna access architecture for the indoor service provisioning will be introduced. Specifically, the architecture leverage an all-analog link to communicate between the antenna unit and the Base station via a LAN cable (i.e., Cat5,6,7). We will highlight the issues of the architecture and its implementation in the real world.
