Technical FAQs 4

Will 5G use micro-cells?

Therefore, in 5G networks, high-frequency resources will no longer use macro base stations, micro-cells become the mainstream, and the small base stations will be used as the basic unit for ultra-intensive networking, that is, small base stations dense deployment.

How does a 5G base station reduce OPEX?

This technique reduces opex by putting a base station into a “sleep mode,” with only the essentials remaining powered on. Pulse power leverages 5G base stations’ ability to analyze traffic loads. In 4G, radios are always on, even when traffic levels don’t warrant it, such as transmitting reference signals to detect users in the middle of the night.

What is the difference between 4G and 5G?

According to the principle of mobile communication, the transmission distance and frequency of the signal are inversely proportional when the power ratio of receiving and transmitting is constant. The frequencies of 4G base stations are generally from 2.3GHz to 2.6GHz, and the frequencies of 5G high-frequency base stations are above 28GHz.

What is the coverage area of 5G high-frequency base stations?

The radius of coverage area of 5G high-frequency base stations will be less than one-tenth of that of 4G base stations, and the coverage area of 5G high-frequency base stations will be less than one percent of that of 4G base stations. The deployment of macro base stations is difficult and the site resources are not easy to obtain.
