The network densif ication technology is recognized as one promising solution. However,the ultra-dense network scheme suffers from severe interference and frequent handovers,which degrade the system performance significantly. In this paper,a virtual sectorization system leveraging a C-plane(control signaling plane) and U-plane(user data plane) split scheme is proposed to overcome these two fundamental problems. Besides,a well-designed fi eld trial is conducted to evaluate its performance. The results show that the interference can be avoided,which leads to a tremendous increase in system capacity. In addition,the number of handovers is also greatly decreased. Thus,the trial results verify the huge potential of the C-plane and U-plane split scheme for system capacity and user experience enhancements.展开更多
