Lately, the research world has increasingly relied on Cooper’s famous law, that most capacity increases in cellular networks will be due to denser and denser cell deployments, to get us towards the promised land of 5G data rates.
Last year we have some progress in mesh cooperative network, which removes edges between cells. This is research work, but the same time it is a room behind the door of densification. The first experiments show that such approach allows to create very similar conditions for all users, but it cannot further increase spectral efficiency as well as data rates. It is just a way for radio resource redistribution.
What if we ever reached a point, where adding more infrastructure did not allow to increase capacity? Will cellular networks eventually become interference-overloaded? Will densification be the death of 5G?
