Network Optimization for future
Infrastructure Communication Introduction:
There has been a massive increase in mobile data traffic volume, which is always increasing every year by two times. The main causes by which mobile data traffic is increasing are two: a rapid increase in devices and data-hungry applications. In developing 5G, a lot of efforts have been made in three different areas: spectrum expansion, spectrum efficiency and network densification. In network densification, there made a large number of small cells. These small cells have small area of coverage. Due to the deployment of small cells, there is an increase in complexity. Due to this , a network operator has to face many problems:
• Difficulty in managing and controlling
• Intercell interference
• Cost
To deal with above issues, a cloud based platform is …show more content…

Challenges for deployment of small cells: While deploying small cells, we face many challenges for network operation and management and many more. If users may deploy small cells for their own services, the network operator still need to deploy more small cells. This is a great challenge for operator due to some reasons:
• Network operator has a limited budget
• On large scale deployment of small cells, a huge amount is require.
So the above issues need to be resolved in economical way. By deploying large number of small cells, complexity increases, so a large number of employee is needed to install, monitor and maintain the cells. Traffic may also changes frequently, so this is a huge problem for network operator to manage all these problems in limited budget and resources. By increasing the number of small cells, interference occurs between cells, which limit the gain of small cells. Intercell interference coordination(ICIC) is introduced in 3rd Generation Partnership Project(3GPP) to mitigate
