White paper Title:

Alcatel Lucent Metro Cells The Bigger Picture

Company Name: Alcatel-Lucent

Abstract:

Mobile network operators (MNOs) need cost-effective solutions to deal with the predicted exponential
growth in mobile data traffic on their networks, in order to maintain their subscribers’ quality of experience
(QoE). Metro cells, which are less costly macro cells, are widely seen as a leading solution to enable MNOs
to build a heterogeneous network, or HetNet, to overcome capacity and coverage constraints. However,
MNOs have many questions concerning deployment of metro cells, which by their nature must be deployed
in far greater numbers than traditional macro cells. To help MNOs successfully introduce metro cells into their
networks, Alcatel-Lucent offers two papers that address both the radio planning challenges and those beyond
the radio. This executive summary presents a brief overview of both papers.
