5g Radio Access Networks: Centralized Ran, Cloud-Ran and Virtualization of Small Cells

Venkataraman, Hrishikesh, Trestian, Ramona

商品描述

C-RAN and virtualized Small Cell technology poses several major research challenges. These include dynamic resource allocation, self-configuration in the baseband pool, high latency in data transfer between radio unit and baseband unit, the cost of data delivery, high volume of data in the network, software networking aspects, potential energy savings, security concerns, privacy of user's personal data at a remote place, limitations of virtualized environment, etc. This book provides deeper insights into the next generation RAN architecture and surveys the coexistence of SDN, C-RAN and Small Cells solutions proposed in the literature at different levels.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

C-RAN和虛擬化小型蜂窩技術帶來了幾個重大的研究挑戰。這些挑戰包括動態資源分配、基頻池中的自我配置、無線單元和基頻單元之間的高延遲數據傳輸、數據傳遞成本、網絡中的大量數據、軟件網絡方面、潛在的節能、安全問題、用戶個人數據在遠程地點的隱私、虛擬化環境的限制等等。本書深入探討了下一代RAN架構,並在不同層面上對文獻中提出的SDN、C-RAN和小型蜂窩解決方案的共存進行了調查。
