macro diversity, which is easy and flexible to integrate with other communication …

Characterizing user access methods in heterogeneous cloud radio access networks (H-
CRANs) is critical for performance optimization. Different from the user access in cloud radio …

This paper studies user-specific clustering for a downlink cloud radio access network (C-
RAN), where a central unit (CU), connected to all base stations (BSs) via limited-capacity …

One major advantage of cloud/centralized radio access network is the ease of
implementation of multi-cell coordination mechanisms to improve the system spectrum …

In this paper, we analyze the performance of a cloud radio access network (CRAN),
consisting of multiple randomly distributed remote radio heads (RRHs) and a macro base …
