Low latency communication is one of the fundamental requirements for 5G wireless networks and beyond. In this paper, a novel approach for joint caching, user scheduling and resource allocation is proposed for minimizing the queuing latency…

This paper proposes a spectrum selection scheme and a transmit power minimization scheme for a device-to-device (D2D) network cross-laid with a cloud radio access network (CRAN). The D2D communications are allowed as an overlay to the CRAN…

Centralized/Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) comes into prominence to reduce the rising energy consumptions and maintenance difficulties of the next-generation networks. However, C-RAN has strict delay requirements, and it needs large…
