Growth, battery life of low-power devices is extended by 10 times, end-to-end latency is reduced by 5 times, etc. Some new wireless technology solutions must be proposed in 5G.

At present, Ultra-Dense Networks (UDN) is an important means to achieve the first two indicators of 5G. The key technology of UDN is to enable a large number of nodes to coexist effectively in an isomorphic or heterogeneous manner in a dense range. Due to the ultra-dense deployment, the inter-cell interference is very serious, and the capacity of each area cannot be linearly increased synchronously with the number of nodes in the area. Moreover, when the user equipment (UE, User Equipment) moves between cells, a large number of handovers are brought about, and the ultra-dense deployment poses a severe challenge to the mobile signaling load and the mobile robustness.
