Impact of Packetization and Scheduling on C-RAN Fronthaul Performance

Being considered as a key enabler for beyond 4G networks, Cloud-RAN (CRAN) offers advanced cooperation and coordinated processing capabilities and brings multiplexing gains. The high capacity and low latency fronthaul (FH) links requirement in the CRAN architecture can be reduced by a flexible functional split of baseband processing between remote radio units (RRUs) and Baseband units (BBUs). Under the wide adoption of Ethernet in data centers...
