5G Small Cell Transmission Point Density Planning

One of the enabling technologies in the development process of 5th Generation (5G) cellular communications systems is small cell transmission points. Electricity poles are at the forefront of places where small cell transmission points, which are a technology complementary to millimeter wave communication, can be placed quickly. In this study, a novel machine learningbased approach has been developed to determine the density of 5G small cell transmission points that are placed on electricity poles in smart cities. In addition, exemplary field applications of this approach are provided.
