Picocell
A picocell is a small cellular basestation typically covering a small area, such as in-building, or more recently in-aircraft. In cellular networks, picocells are typically used to extend coverage to indoor areas where outdoor signals do not reach well, or to add network capacity in areas with very dense phone usage, such as train stations. Picocells provide coverage and capacity in areas difficult or expensive to reach using the more traditional Macrocell approach. In cellular wireless networks, such as GSM, the picocell base station is typically a low cost, small, reasonably simple unit that connects to a Base Station Controller. Multiple picocell 'heads' connect to each BSC: the BSC performs radio resource management and hand-over functions, and aggregates data to be passed to the Mobile Switching Centre and/or the Gateway GPRS Support Node. Connectivity between the picocell heads and the BSC typically consists of in-building wiring. Although originally deployed systems used PDH links such as E1/T1 links, more recent systems use Ethernet cabling. Aircraft use satellite links.
