Inhalt:
We estimate the amount of optical interfaces to support fronthaul of Small Cells under aggressive 5G traffic forecasts, considering different functional splits (midhaul) and cell configurations. Cost of interfaces can be minimized by properly selecting functional split and radio configuration.
