In this paper, we propose a novel wireless caching scheme to enhance the physical layer security of video streaming in cellular networks with limited backhaul capacity. By proactively sharing video data across a subset of base stations…

The implementation of uplink HARQ in a Cloud- Radio Access Network RAN (C-RAN) architecture is constrained by the two-way latency on the fronthaul links connecting the Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) with the Baseband Units (BBUs) that perform…

In this paper we investigate the problem of optimal MDS-encoded cache placement at the wireless edge to minimize the backhaul rate in heterogeneous networks. We derive the backhaul rate performance of any caching scheme based on file…

In this paper, we consider an uplink heterogeneous cloud radio access network (H-CRAN), where a macro base station (BS) coexists with many remote radio heads (RRHs). For cost-savings, only the BS is connected to the baseband unit (BBU) pool…

The heterogeneous cloud radio access network (HCRAN) is a promising paradigm which integrates the advantages of cloud radio access network (C-RAN) and heterogeneous network (HetNet). In this paper, we study the joint congestion control and…

There is a widely held belief that future Radio Access Network (RAN) architectures will be characterized by increased levels of virtualization, whereby base station functionalities, traditionally residing at a single location, will be…

In traditional Fog-Radio Access Networks (F-RANs), enhanced remote radio heads (eRRHs) are connected to a macro base station (MBS) through fronthaul links. Deploying a massive number of eRRHs is not always feasible due to site constraints…

This paper considers the downlink of a cache-enabled fog radio access network (F-RAN) with limited fronthaul capacity, where user association (UA), data delivery rate (DDR) and signal precoding are jointly optimized. We formulate a…

In a cloud radio access network (C-RAN), distributed remote radio heads (RRHs) are coordinated by baseband units (BBUs) in the cloud. The centralization of signal processing provides flexibility for coordinated multi-point transmission…

Caching popular contents at the edge of cellular networks has been proposed to reduce the load, and hence the cost of backhaul links. It is significant to decide which files should be cached and where to cache them. In this paper, we…

Cloud radio access network (C-RAN) is a promising technology for fifth-generation (5G) cellular systems. However the burden imposed by the huge amount of data to be collected (in the uplink) from the radio remote heads (RRHs) and processed…

Fog radio access network (Fog-RAN), which pushes the caching and computing capabilities to the network edge, is capable of efficiently delivering contents to users by using carefully designed caching placement and content replacement…

Cooperative beamforming across access points (APs) and fronthaul quantization strategies are essential for cloud radio access network (C-RAN) systems. The nonconvexity of the C-RAN optimization problems, which is stemmed from per-AP power…

We study the important and challenging problem of virtualized radio access network (vRAN) design in its most general form. We develop an optimization framework that decides the number and deployment locations of central/cloud units (CUs);…

The downlink of symmetric Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RANs) with multiple relays and a single receiver is studied. Lower and upper bounds are derived on the capacity. The lower bound is achieved by Marton's coding which facilitates…

In this paper, we investigate the downlink transmission for cache-enabled fog radio access networks aiming at maximizing the delivery rate under the constraints of fronthaul capacity, maximum transmit power, and size of files. To reduce the…

The limited fronthaul capacity imposes a challenge on the uplink of centralized radio access network (C-RAN). We propose to boost the fronthaul capacity of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) aided C-RAN by globally optimizing the…

In a Fog Radio Access Network (F-RAN), the cloud processor (CP) collects channel state information (CSI) from the edge nodes (ENs) over fronthaul links. As a result, the CSI at the cloud is generally affected by an error due to outdating.…
