A small cell is basically a miniature base station that breaks up a cell site into much smaller pieces, and is a term that encompasses pico cells, micro cells, femtocells and can comprise of indoor/outdoor systems. With a macro base station, there's one pipe going into the network; with small cells, it breaks the pipe into many pipes. The main goal of small cells is to increase the macro cell's edge data capacity, speed and overall network efficiency.
Small cells were added in Release 9 of the 3GPP LTE spec in 2008, and are one element of network densification, or adding more base station connections to the existing wireless infrastructure.
Small cells are typically used in very densely populated urban areas, such as shopping centers, sports venues, airports and train stations basically anyplace you have a lot of people using data at a given point in time. Most small cell infrastructure deployments are targeted for outdoor use today. In contrast, indoor small cell systems may or may not incorporate Wi-Fi or unlicensed LTE bands (LTE-U)/Licensed Assisted Access (LAA), depending on the capabilities that service providers want to support.
