User-Centric C-RAN Architecture for Ultra-Dense 5G Networks: Challenges and Methodologies [PDF]
Ultra-dense networks (UDNs) constitute one of the most promising techniques for supporting the 5G mobile system. By deploying more small cells in a fixed area, the average distance between users and access points can be significantly reduced; hence ...

Cost-effective joint optimisation of BBU placement and fronthaul deployment in brown-field scenarios
In this work, one proposes a model to evaluate the optimal deployment of Centralised Radio Access Network (C-RAN) architecture elements, i.e. Base Band processing Units (BBUs) and fronthaul links, in a brown-field scenario, in which traditional base ...

Positioning via direct localisation in C‐RAN systems
Cloud radio access network (C‐RAN) is a prominent architecture for fifth generation wireless cellular system that is based on the centralisation of baseband processing for multiple distributed radio units (RUs) at a control unit (CU). In this study, it is proposed to leverage the C‐RAN architecture to enable the implementation of
