Cost Analysis of 5G Fronthaul Networks Through Functional Splits at the PHY Layer in a Capacity and Cost Limited Scenario

The expected growth in carried traffic and the added complexity of different deployment approaches (distributed vs. centralized), showing different requirements, make transport network one of the main design challenges in 5G. One of those challenges is posed by the Centralized Radio Access Network (...
