Abstract

The combination of Composite Base Stations (CBSs) and Dynamic Spectrum Scheduling (DSS) can enable high-speed connectivity in urban environments, providing seamless connectivity to users and supporting a wide range of high-bandwidth applications. This paper investigates the performance of CBSs combining Fifth Generation (5G) cellular network and Fourth Generation (4G) Long-Term Evolution (LTE) modes in an urban environment such as a university campus. The comparison considers sub-6GHz and mmWave frequencies (28GHz) and a DSS to improve network performance and increase overall system capacity. The results show that the CBS approach improves network performance, increasing system capacity and provides high-speed connectivity to users. Additionally, this research highlights the potential of mmWave frequencies for use in heterogeneous networks to improve coverage over a large area. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for network planners and operators, demonstrating the benefits and challenges of CBS deployment.
