This lecture covers the modeling of cellular networks, focusing on infrastructure like base stations and fixed networks. It explains the concept of uniform hexagonal cells, area coverage planning, the effect of fading, frequency planning with frequency reuse, and the design of wireless networks. The lecture also delves into the capacity of wireless networks, the tradeoff between quality and capacity, interference sources, and the deployment of femtocells. It discusses network architectures, frequency management, and the allocation of frequencies through auctions. The lecture concludes with insights into 5G requirements, frequency allocation for operators, and the deployment strategies of 5G networks.
