5G Heterogeneous Mobile Networks utilizing Millimeter-wave

摘要

Fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks are expected to not only provide extremely high data rates but also support diverse requirements for new mobile-connected use cases after 2020. Heterogeneous networks (HetNet) utilizing multiple radio access technologies (multi-RATs), including millimeter-wave (mmWave) technologies, enable 5G networks to fulfill various requirements in a flexible manner. This report presents our work on the development of mmWave transceivers and access points based on the WiGig standard. The report also presents proof-of-concept hardware for multi-RAT HetNet, which utilizes Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and WiGig.
