To boost the capacity of the cellular system, the operators have started to reuse the same licensed spectrum by deploying 4G LTE small cells (Femto Cells) in the past. But in time, these small cell licensed spectrum is not sufficient to satisfy future applications like augmented reality (AR)and virtual reality (VR). Hence, cellular operators look f...

... heterogeneous network (HetNet) consists of a Macro cell augmented with various types of small cells to address the challenge of enhancing system capacity and coverage. Examples of small cells are micro cell, pico cell, relay, Remote Radio Head (RRH), Femto, Licensed Assisted Access (LAA), New Radio in Unlicensed (NR-U), and Femto cell [3,4] as shown in Fig. 1. Table 1 shows characteristics of various types of cells. The description of various types of small cells are as follows. ...
