The uplink of a cloud radio access network architecture is studied in which decoding at the
cloud takes place via network function virtualization on commercial off-the-shelf servers. In …

Network function virtualization (NFV) prescribes the instantiation of network functions on
general-purpose network devices, such as servers and switches. While yielding a more …

This paper is interested in maximizing the total throughput of cloud radio access networks
(CRANs) in which multiple radio remote heads (RRHs) are connected to a central computing …

Real-world communication systems consist of heterogeneous devices and network nodes
with diverse computation capabilities. Even though it can improve the system's throughput …

We consider online downlink precoding design for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
wireless network virtualization (WNV) in a fading environment with imperfect channel state …

We consider the single user uplink of a Cloud Radio Access Network where a single radio
access point forwards quantized received signals to the central unit. The focus of our …

In this paper, we study the problem of delay minimization in network function virtualization-
based networks. In such systems, the ultimate goal of any request is to compute a sequence …

In a virtualized radio access network (RAN), baseband processing is performed by software
running in cloud-computing platforms. However, current protocol stacks were not designed …

Cloud radio access networks (C-RAN) gained much attention thanks to their abilities in
mitigating interference and providing high data rates by coordinating multiple Remote Radio …
