Topology types and links on a cellular network. PtP case pairs a single transceiver to a BS, whereas PtMP gives area coverage, reducing the number of transceivers needed at the MBS.

With the introduction of new technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), high altitude platforms (HAPS), millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), and beamforming, wireless backhaul is expected to be an integral part of the 5G networks. While this concept is nothing new, it was shortcoming in ter...

... times and number of transceivers required are also less in PtMP, meaning that the expenditure for setting up such a network is also lower [34]. Figure 4 exemplifies the two topologies. While the number of MBS/SBSs and their positions are the same, the links are different between two cases. ...
