Abstract:Centralized/Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) comes into prominence to reduce the rising energy consumptions and maintenance difficulties of next-generation networks. However, C-RAN has strict delay requirements, and it needs large fronthaul bandwidth. Function splitting and Radio over Ethernet are two promising approaches to reduce these drawbacks of the C-RAN architecture. Meanwhile, the usage of renewable energy sources in a C-RAN boosts the energy-efficiency potential of this network. In this paper, we pr… Show more
