As the operators prepare for the looming 1000x data challenge, small cells and utilizing all spectrum resources are in the front and center. Can you imagine the boost they will get if their small cells can aggregate the bandwidth-rich unlicensed spectrum with the quality and seamless mobility of licensed spectrum?

3GPPⁱ RAN has started a new innovation cycle which will be shaping next generation cellular systems.

Maravedis-Rethink Webinar: Mobile operators face continuing CAPEX calls over the next 12 years using 3GPP endorsed strategies, as they implement small cells, Hetnets, LTE Broadcast, and network virtualization. Calls for CAPEX will go unrelenting and investors will punish operators that go down this route with a lower share price.

The wireless industry continues its march to an all-IP structure, with LTE networks ushering in the age of true high-speed, mobile broadband services.

The use of multiple input multiple output or MIMO complicates the process of measuring eNodeB power and modulation quality in LTE systems. Spectrum analyzers only have one receiver whereas two or more receivers are needed for complete demodulation of data traffic channels.
