Distribution of 5G outdoor base stations in Bucharest

What is the European 5G Observatory?

The European 5G Observatory tracks progress in 5G infrastructure deployment across the EU and other regions worldwide according to base stations deployment, edge nodes and infrastructure sharing agreements.

What is the location optimization approach for 5G BS?

The location optimization approach for 5G BSs aims to cover the service demand area with the minimum number of BSs or to maximize the service coverage area of a given number of BSs. To solve this typical coverage problem, an MCLP model was employed for the location optimization of 5G BSs.

Should 5G base stations be tripled?

To cover the same area as traditional cellular networks (2G, 3G, and 4G), the number of 5G base stations (BSs) could be tripled (Wang et al., 2014). Furthermore, Ge, Tu, Mao, Wang, and Han, (2016) suggested that to achieve seamless coverage services, the density of 5G BSs would reach 40-50 BSs/km 2.

How many 5G BS will be deployed in Wuhan?

The population of the city is 11 million people. As of the end of 2018, the GDP of Wuhan had reached 212 billion US dollars. According to the development plan of the municipal government, by the end of 2020, over 20,000 5G BSs will be deployed in the downtown area of Wuhan. The study area was selected from the downtown area of Wuhan.
