Global Mobile IP Traffic Likely to Grow 66x by 2013E (130% CAGR)1
Mobile data traffic will grow from 1 petabyte per month to 1 exabyteper month in half the time it took fixed data to do so
Network Loading - 50x Mobile Data Traffic Increase in Past 3 Years2

Assumptions: Example for HSPA+. 16 Users per cell for dense urban HSPA+ system: 10 macro users and 6 home users served either by macrocell or added femto cells. Rx diversity and MMSE Equalizer used. The median user data rates are shown. Note: Also, the worst 10% of macro users get ~15% higher throughput with proper interference management techniques.
Macro Network Offloaded—Capacity Gain Can Exceed 10x
SummaryMacro BTS becomes increasingly difficult to meet operator’s demand for capacity and coverage
Zoning regulation, spectrum constraints remain as obstacles Higher installation and operational cost
Small cells (Micro/Pico/Femto/DAS) are expected to be widely used in future network : Lower equipment cost and size, faster installation and flexible backhaul operations
PAGE 11
The trend provides opportunities for further 3G/4G HetNet - Consider schemes to reduce backhaul cost such as wireless mesh backhaul and relay
Improved interference management coordination for metropolitan mesh network of Picos and Femtos
Device schemes to take advantage of different band combinations and technology (3G/4G, Wifi)
