Cloud-Radio Access Networks (Cloud-RANs) are separating the mobile networks base station functions into three units, the connection between the two of them is referred to as the fronthaul network. This work demonstrates the transmission of…

In this paper, we investigate the joint beamforming and power splitting design problem in a base station (BS) cluster-based cloud radio access network (C-RAN) with multicast fronthaul, where users are jointly served by BSs within each…

Cloud-radio access networks (C-RAN) help overcoming the scarcity of radio resources by enabling dense deployment of base-stations (BSs), and connecting them to a central-processor (CP). This paper considers the downlink of a C-RAN, where…

In an ultra-dense cloud radio access network (UD-CRAN), a large number of remote radio heads (RRHs), typically employed as simple relay nodes, are distributed in a target area, which could even outnumber their served users. However, one…

Cloud RAN (C-RAN) is a promising enabler for distributed massive MIMO systems, yet is vulnerable to its fronthaul congestion. To cope with the limited fronthaul capacity, this paper proposes a hybrid analog-digital precoding design that…

We consider the uplink of a cloud radio access network (C-RAN), where massive MIMO remote radio heads (RRHs) serve as relays between users and a centralized baseband unit (BBU). Although employing massive MIMO at RRHs can improve the…

Recently, an evolution of the Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) has been proposed, named as Fog Radio Access Network (F-RAN). Compared to C-RAN, the Radio Units (RUs) in F-CAN are equipped with local caches, which can store some frequently…

We propose a power-and rate-adaptation scheme for cloud radio access networks (C-RANs), where each radio remote head (RRH) is connected to the baseband unit (BBU) pool through optical links. The RRHs jointly support the users by efficiently…

Spectrum pooling allows multiple operators, or tenants, to share the same frequency bands. This work studies the optimization of spectrum pooling for the downlink of a multi-tenant Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) system in the presence…

Cloud-Radio Access Network (C-RAN) is a promising network architecture to reduce energy consumption and the increasing number of base station deployment costs in mobile networks. However, the necessity of enormous fronthaul bandwidth…

Uplink and downlink cloud radio access networks are modeled as two-hop K-user L-relay networks, whereby small base-stations act as relays for end-to-end communications and are connected to a central processor via orthogonal fronthaul links…
