Grob said Qualcomm anticipates putting four or more antennas on each cell phone to improve their ability to send and receive data.

Grob said that Qualcomm is working on ways to permit shared access to the spectrum that would be automatically ceded to the primary spectrum owner when needed.

Until now, these small cells have served as a small-scale supplement to macro networks, but Qualcomm CTO Matt Grob sees them comprising a much bigger chunk of the network of the future.

ENGADGET

Grob said that finding that capacity will require three different strategies: increasing the number of antennas in handsets and inside buildings, getting access to little-used and unused spectrum and improving the signal-to-noise ratio of transmissions.

Overall, Grob said, Qualcomm expects that the cellular networks will be able to handle the explosion of mobile data implied by a fast-growing population of users around the world, each downloading more and more data.
