User-Centric Cloud RAN: An Analytical Framework for Optimizing Area Spectral and Energy Efficiency
In this article, we develop a statistical framework to quantify the area spectral efficiency (ASE) and the energy efficiency (EE) performance of a user-centric cloud based radio access network (UC-RAN) downlink. We propose a user-centric remote radio head (RRH) clustering mechanism, which: 1) provid...
