Abstract:This report deals with the design of handover schemes for radio access networks (RAN) in 5G networks, using programmable data plane switches. The network architecture is expected to be a centralized cloud infrastructure, connected via a backhaul network to many edge-computing clouds that are closer to the end-user. Some of the network services can be implemented in edge devices to improve network performance.In 5G networks, the C-RAN architecture splits the Base Band Unit (BBU) into Central and Distributed Uni… Show more
