EUREKA Celtic MUSIC Multistream Mobile Backhaul

Purpose and goal

The goal of the MUSIC project is to lay the foundation for the next generation wireless backhauling networks. The majority of the foreseen 1000-fold growth of wireless network capacity in next decade is expected to be met by deploying heterogeneous networks including small cells. Optical fiber backhauling is favorable, but the deployment is often costly and time consuming. The objective of the MUSIC project is to demonstrate how to increase the data rates in small cell wireless backhauling scenarios despite the increased path loss at higher frequencies.
