Planning of 5G Millimeterwave Wireless Access Network for Dense Urban Area

Abstract

Network planning is an important step in the design of wireless networks, especially for 5 generation (5G). 5G networks must provide good service quality, high data rate and capacity. Therefore, 5G networks must be plan efficiently to deal with the increase of the data traffic. So, 5G wireless networks requires high grade of heterogeneity of small cell base stations, micro-cell base stations and macro cell base stations. In this paper, 5G wireless access network is planned for urban area in Ibb city, Yemen. The band 28 GHz of millimeter wave (mm-Wave) is used in this paper. Simulation results show that we need 223 micro cells to provide an acceptable services to 186532 subscribers in the covered urban area of Ibb city to satisfy densification network. The results also show that, the maximum achievable downlink and uplink throughput are 6.5 Gbps and 3.2 Gbps, respectively.
