Rooftop installation of 5G base station communication method

Can a 5G base station be installed at ground level?

Many 5G base stations are being deployed at existing LTE sites. Each tower has a loading factor that defines the maximum weight of the radios and antennas that can be mounted. Due to legacy hardware on the tower, the radio may be required to be installed at ground level and only the antenna is tower mounted.

What is a 5G deployment scheme & cooperative operation?

A deployment scheme and cooperative operation for optimizing the location of 5G macro and micro base stations under the considerations of both the cost and signal coverag References is not available for this document.

What is the location optimization approach for 5G BS?

The location optimization approach for 5G BSs aims to cover the service demand area with the minimum number of BSs or to maximize the service coverage area of a given number of BSs. To solve this typical coverage problem, an MCLP model was employed for the location optimization of 5G BSs.

Is beamforming a problem in 5G?

It is clear that the arrival of beamforming in 5G has made traditional methods of measuring the total radiated power of a base station ineffective to optimize network coverage.

Should 5G base stations be tripled?

To cover the same area as traditional cellular networks (2G, 3G, and 4G), the number of 5G base stations (BSs) could be tripled (Wang et al., 2014). Furthermore, Ge, Tu, Mao, Wang, and Han, (2016) suggested that to achieve seamless coverage services, the density of 5G BSs would reach 40-50 BSs/km 2.

Does a 5G base station have a RF test port?

Many 5G base stations do not have an RF test port. For this reason, over-the-air (OTA) measurements must be made. Certain field spectrum analyzers offer a comprehensive suite of modulation quality measurements.
