Backhauling solutions for LTE networks
06 July 2014
LTE and LTE advanced mobile technologies impose quite new requirements to backhauling network and may call for revolutionary approaches, like fronthauling, in order to exploit the full potential of the technology. In this paper we synthesize main requirements for LTE and LTE advanced backhauling and fronthauling, along with the underlining rationale, and describe to some extent possible different network designs, both at L1 (fronthauling) and L2 / L3 (backhauling), comparing them against those requirements.
