Abstract

A system and method for network controlled dynamic small cell management. The present system backhauls and front hauls LTE data over a network. Portions of the LTE Small Cell are virtualized in the network and either in close communication with a Modem Termination System (MTS) of the network, co-located with the MTS, or integrated with the MTS. Such MTS-Small Cell integration reduces latency through data sharing, LTE-to-network mapping, and distributing workloads.
