Abstract-Cloud-Radio Access Network (C-RAN) is seen as a promising mobile network architecture for both current and future Radio Access Technologies (RATs). However, commercial C-RAN deployments are not yet commonly seen and thus experience from operational networks is limited. This means that standard procedures and best practices for roll out are yet to be established. This work provides a case study, where a small but densely populated part of the network owned by the Danish mobile network operator, TDC, is evaluated for C-RAN deployment. A roadmap is provided which uses traffic data as input and the output is a sequence of when the specific cells should have C-RAN deployed. Any operator to create their own roadmap towards C-RAN deployment can use the methods derived for the roadmap in this work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
