Therefore, in 5G networks, high-frequency resources will no longer use macro base stations, micro-cells become the mainstream, and the small base stations will be used as the basic unit for ultra-intensive networking, that is, small base stations dense deployment.
The radius of coverage area of 5G high-frequency base stations will be less than one-tenth of that of 4G base stations, and the coverage area of 5G high-frequency base stations will be less than one percent of that of 4G base stations. The deployment of macro base stations is difficult and the site resources are not easy to obtain.
