Abstract:
In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art research studies to present the potential of small cells to address the high capacity demands of in-building users in mobile networks. In doing so, we explore existing works in three major directions toward improving the network capacity, including spectrum accessibility, spectral efficiency improvement, and network densification. It is shown that the exploitation of the Cognitive Radio technology to improve spectrum utilization and the 3-Dimensional (3D) spatial reuse of millimeter-wave spectrum with in-building multiband-enabled ultra-dense small cells to avail additional spectrum using Dynamic Spectrum Sharing can address enormous capacity demand in indoor mobile networks.
