The performance of cloud radio access network (C-RAN) is constrained by the limited
fronthaul link capacity under future heavy data traffic. To tackle this problem, extensive …

To alleviate the burdens on the fronthaul and reduce the transmit latency, the device-to-
device (D2D) communication is presented in cloud radio access networks (C-RANs) …

This paper studies the energy efficiency of the cloud radio access network (C-RAN),
specifically focusing on two fundamental and different downlink transmission strategies …

This paper aims to maximize the energy efficiency of a downlink cloud radio access network
(C-RAN). Here, data is transferred from a baseband unit in the core network to several …

This paper investigates the compress-and-forward scheme for an uplink cloud radio access
network (C-RAN) model, where multi-antenna base stations (BSs) are connected to a cloud …

In this paper, we address the problem of downlink resource allocation and admission control
for an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)-based Cloud Radio Access …

The concept of intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) is considered as a promising technology
for increasing the efficiency of mobile wireless networks. This is achieved by employing a …

As an advanced paradigm, the cloud radio access network (C-RAN) promises high spectral
efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE). However, the capacity-constrained front-haul has …

Uplink-downlink duality refers to the fact that the Gaussian broadcast channel has the same
capacity region as the dual Gaussian multiple-access channel under the same sum-power …

Cloud radio access network (C-RAN) is emerging as a transformative paradigmatic
architecture for the next generation of cellular networks. In this paper, a novel resource …
