在本文中，我们提出了一个部署框架，为未来的室内小型蜂窝网络，将有利于场馆业主/校园，微型运营商（uO），最终用户和移动的网络运营商（MNO）。这项研究的动机是不断努力改善室内覆盖，满足不断增长的容量需求，并开发5G接入解决方案，为未来的用例做好准备。该框架为校园设想了一个室内小型小区部署，由uO运营和管理，它利用网络切片为校园提供本地定制服务，同时还充当参与MNO的中立主机。拟议的框架将有利于降低成本，增加收入，提供专用服务，覆盖范围和频谱利用率。最后，该框架被认为在经济上是可行的，比Wi-Fi部署更有益。总拥有成本（TCO）按接入点类型计算，然后计算每个选项当前总容量的TCO。分析表明，虽然小型蜂窝基站在单位基础上是昂贵的，但整个网络可以比Wi-Fi部署更便宜，更有益。
In this paper, we propose a deployment framework for future indoor small cell networks that will be beneficial for the venue owner/campus, micro-operator (uO), end-users and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). The research is motivated by ongoing struggle to improve indoor coverage, to meet ever increasing capacity demands and to develop 5G access solutions to be ready for future use cases. The framework conceives an indoor small cell deployment for the campus, operated and managed by the uO, which leverages network slicing to provide the campus with local customized service, while at the same time also acting as a neutral host for participating MNOs. The proposed framework will be beneficial in terms of reduced costs, additional revenues, dedicated services, coverage, and spectrum utilization. In the end, the framework is contended to be economically viable and more beneficial than Wi-Fi deployments. The total cost of ownership (TCO) is calculated per access point type and then the TCO for current total capacity is calculated for each option. The analysis shows that although small cells are expensive on a unit basis but the overall network can be cheaper and more beneficial than a Wi-Fi deployment.
