Computing tasks offloaded from user devices (UDs) can be carried out by one or more
mobile edge computing (MEC) servers to alleviate the computing burden of UDs. The …

Cell-free massive MIMO systems have promising data rate and coverage gains. These
systems, however, typically rely on fiber based fronthaul for the communication between the …

In this article, we consider an edge cache-assisted millimeter-wave cloud radio access
network (C-RAN). Each remote radio head (RRH) in the C-RAN has a local cache, which …

Millimeter-wave self-backhauled small cells are a key component of next-generation
wireless networks. Their dense deployment will increase data rates, reduce latency, and …

This paper presents a joint design framework of fronthaul and access links in cloud radio
access networks, wherein the fronthaul data delivery between the central processor (CP) …

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 …

Explosive growth of mobile data demand may impose a heavy traffic burden on fronthaul
links of cloud-based small cell networks (C-SCNs), which deteriorates users' quality of …

This paper investigates the downlink (DL) performance of cell-free (CF) massive multiple-
input multiple-output (mMIMO) systems under a wireless mMIMO-based fronthaul network …

The performance of cloud-based small cell networks (C-SCNs) relies highly on a capacity-
limited fronthaul, which degrade quality of service when it is saturated. Coded caching is a …

In this paper, we investigate an energy-efficient beamforming design in a user-centric full-
duplex backhauling network, where simultaneous transmission and reception on the same …
