Abstract

Cloud computing technology has emerged as a promising solution for providing high energy efficiency together with gigabit data rates across software defined wireless communication networks, in which the virtualization of communication hardware and software elements place stress on communication networks and protocols. Consequently, cloud radio access networks (C-RANs) have been proposed as cost-effective potential solutions to alleviating inter-tier interference and improving cooperative processing gains in heterogeneous networks through combination with cloud computing. C-RAN is a new cellular network architecture that brings baseband processing units for a set of base stations into a central server retaining only the radio front-ends at the cell sites. In this talk, we will introduce this exciting new area by investigating how cloud computing and coordinated multipoint transmission (CoMP) comes together in C-RAN and briefly discuss some of our initial research outcomes.
