Abstract :
This paper presents results from the first measurements comparing the coverage and coverage quality of a network of coordinated LTE small cell radio points compared to a cluster of independent standalone LTE small cells. The measurements are compared to theoretical predictions and show that the coordinated small cell provides significant improvement in the overall quality of LTE coverage as measured by RSRP, SINR, CQI and MCS. The indoor measurements described in this paper were made with a new autonomous robotic system designed for making indoor wireless coverage measurements.
