Cache Placement in Fog-RANs: From Centralized to Distributed Algorithms

To deal with the rapid growth of high-speed and/or ultra-low latency data traffic for massive mobile users, fog radio access networks (Fog-RANs) have emerged as a promising architecture for next-generation wireless networks. In Fog-RANs, the edge nodes and user terminals possess storage, computation and communication functionalities to various degrees, which provide high flexibility for network operation, i.e., from fully centralized to fully...
