In radio access network, as there are femto and pico cells inside the macro base station. How much the coverage area of macro base station is recommended by standards of 5G architecture?
Somewhere, the cell radius is considered from 45 km to 60 km for low density areas. Is it realistic? I want to know about the standard min and max range.
There are situations where one can achieve the 45-60 km radius in rural areas.
However, the benefit of 5G isn't to provide better coverage but higher capacity within the coverage area. The capacity demands are high in urban areas where the inter site distance is only a few hundred meters. Neighboring base stations will then have overlapping coverage areas, so interference coordination is important.
Thank you so much for explanation and answer.
As you said that a few hundred meters in highly demand areas. However, in urban areas, is there any restriction on the minimum coverage range of macro BS. I mean, it can be converged to 50 m cell side length that gives about 6495 m^2 coverage area in hexagonal cell shape?
