JOINT WIRELESS AND FIXED NETWORK OPTIMIZATION FOR HETEROGENEOUS CELLULAR NETWORK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform joint wireless and fixed network optimization for heterogeneous cellular networks.SOLUTION: This method includes performing a feasibility evaluation for an x-haul network comprising at least one of a fronthaul network and a backhaul network, after determining base station locations and RF parameters. The feasibility evaluation may determine, based on a network graph, which small cell locations are accessible according to actual network conditions and based on cost metrics for various types of network links.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
