It is assumed that higher frequency bands, such as 3.5 GHz band, compared to widely used frequency bands for cellular networks would be deployed as small cells that have smaller cell radius than macro cell due to their propagation characteristics. In case of small cell deployments, increasing the number of handovers caused by their small cell radius is an important issue and it raises degradations of user throughput and quality of user experience. Dual connectivity, which makes it possible to use macro cell and small cell separately for control signal and small cell for user signal respectively, is now being standardized as its solution. We constructed experimental networks with this technology and achieved proving tests. In this paper, we introduce the results of our experimental tests proving the availability of this technology. |
