Key Considerations for a Cloud-RAN Business Model |
|
| |
|
Examining the cost, efficiency and revenue advantages which have been outlined by early adopters, and discussing whether they are applicable to all operators. Outlining the main trends in the technology and how these may improve the business case over the coming few years. Looking at alternative approaches to C-RAN.

NGMN: Evaluating and Recommending Future RAN Architecture Options |
|
| |
|
 |
The NGMN project investigates the advantages and challenges of evolved C-RAN architecture. A number of pre-commercial networks and trials have been deployed in several countries, giving insights of the potential and challenges of these new architectures. Presenting an overview of the project, covering RAN architectures, CoMP and transport.

Realization of Scalable “Virtualized” eNodeB |
|
| |
|
Presenting the realization of a scalable eNodeB framework based on virtualization concepts. Providing deployment view of the framework in two different platforms standard x86/ARM based Platform for Layer-2 processing and physical layer running in SoC as extended unit dedicated SoC for Layer-2 and physical layer processing. Layer-3, RRM, SON processing is assumed to be running virtualized environment in both the scenarios.

Impact of C-RAN on Cloud-based Architectures |
|
| |
|
C-RAN introduces a new location type, or hub, in the mobile architecture, that brings opportunities to re-architect not only the RAN but also the whole mobile network in order to bring the “Cloud” from the Data Center closer to the end-user. C-RAN also creates an opportunity to re-think the way fixed and mobile networks (FMC) evolve for a better synergy. Analysing all these architectural changes where C-RAN may play a key role.
