Abstract:The impact of midhaul-induced latency on the performance of a wireless communication system must be understood in order to be appropriately accounted for. To this end, we study the impact of midhaul delay and jitter on the scheduling of a cloud radio access network. A soft-real-time commodity hardware testbed is used to gather data using up to 16 virtualized distributed units. The empirical data is used to develop models to analyze the midhaul latency's impact on spectral efficiency and outage probability. Mod… Show more
