neighborhood small cells also sharing the spectrum with macro and other small cells. 20% household penetration equals ~ 144 small cells, and 9% penetration equals ~ 65 small cells. 15
Neighborhood small cells opens up new opportunities
Cost-saving opportunity means that business solutions will emerge

Note: Neighborhood small cells is Qualcomm’s name for viral, ad-hoc user deployed indoor small cells also covering the outside ‘inside-out’, typically a residential area.

13GPPR12 proposal: Add payload (e.g. HTTP GET & POST packets) compression to the PDCP layer, header (RoHC/IPHC) compression already resides in PDCP. Uplink compression is suitable since highly compressible
HTTP packets are ~70% of uplink smartphone data volume (based on Qualcomm logs). 2Reduction in Radio Resource Control (RRC) transitions, which drives network signaling, frees up resources for more data capacity 32
