Big data is generated from various sources, such as the Internet of things, social media,
databases, wearables, smart cars, and so on, and is characterized by five V's: volume, value …

In this paper, we consider jointly optimizing user association, resource allocation and power
allocation in a two tier heterogeneous cloud radio access network (H-CRAN). Our objective …

To solve the problems of unbalanced network loads, poor network throughput, and low user
transmission rate in 5th generation (5G) vehicular networks, a user‐centric data …

In this paper, we analyze the uplink performance of a scalable user-centric heterogeneous
cloud-radio access network (HC-RAN) implemented by using dynamic cooperative …

In this paper, a scalable user-centric HC-RAN is taken into consideration, where each
remote radio head (RRH) serves user equipments (UEs) over the same time/frequency …

Recent works on cellular systems that serve terrestrial and aerial user equipments
(TUEs/AUEs)-such as crewed and uncrewed aerial vehicles–investigated the network …

The baseband unit (BBU) pool in the cloud radio access network (C-RAN) realizes the
centralized deployment of baseband processing units, and the centralized signal processing …

We consider leveraging the joint potential of non‐orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and
traffic offloading to benefit cell‐edge users in multi‐cell scenarios. We formulate the edge …

Cloud radio access network (C-RAN) is a paradigmatic architecture that supports the
tremendous increase in mobile network traffic. Despite the novel advancements that C-RAN …

The exponential growth of cellular data traffic over the years imposes a hard challenge on
the next cellular generations. The cloud radio access network (CRAN) is an emerging …
