Ergodic Rate Analysis for User Access in Downlink Heterogeneous Cloud Radio Access Networks
2015 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM), 2014Characterizing user access methods in heterogeneous cloud radio access networks (H-CRANs)is critical for performance optimization. Different from the user access in cloud radio access networks, the inter-tier interference from macro base station has a great impact on user access in H-CRANs.

Resource Allocation in Heterogeneous Cloud Radio Access Networks: A Workload Balancing Perspective
2015 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM), 2014Heterogeneous cloud radio access networks (H-CRANs) have been proposed as a promising architecture for providing high energy efficiency, high spectral efficiency and high data rate at low cost. In this paper, we develop a novel resource allocation scheme among macro base stations (BSs) and remote radio heads (RRHs) for the H-CRANs.

Coordinated multi-point joint transmission evaluation in heterogenous cloud radio access networks
2017 Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE), 2017In this paper, the effect of applying coordinated multi-point joint transmission (CoMP-JT) in system performance of 5G heterogeneous cloud radio access networks (H-CRANs) is investigated. For this purpose, two simple user-centric and network-centric clustering methods are presented and the amount of obtained CoMP gain in each of these dynamic-formed ...

Joint Power Allocation and Beamforming in Heterogeneous Cloud Radio Access Networks
2019 IEEE 4th International Conference on Computer and Communication Systems (ICCCS), 2019In this paper, resource allocation for heterogeneous cloud radio access network (HC-RAN) network is investigated. By maximizing the sum rate of all the users in HC-RAN under the power constraints of macro base station (MBS) and remote radio heads (RRHs), the MBS beamforming vectors and RRHs transmit power are jointly optimized.
