Cloud Radio Access Networks with Coded Caching
A cloud radio access network (C-RAN) is considered as a candidate to meet the expectations of higher data rate de- mands in wireless networks. In C-RAN, low energy base stations (BSs) are deployed over a small geography and are allowed to connect to the cloud via finite capacity backhaul links where the information is processed.
