Abstract-Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) is a novel mobile network architecture which can address a number of challenges the operators face while trying to support growing end-user's needs. The main idea behind C-RAN is to pool the Baseband Units (BBUs) from multiple base stations into centralized BBU Pool for statistical multiplexing gain, while shifting the burden to the high-speed wireline transmission of In-phase and Quadrature (IQ) data. C-RAN enables energy efficient network operation and possible cost savings on baseband resources. Furthermore, it improves network capacity by performing load balancing and cooperative processing of signals originating from several base stations. This article surveys the state-of-the-art literature on C-RAN. It can serve as a starting point for anyone willing to understand C-RAN architecture and advance the research on C-RAN.

“…Ethernet poses a number of challenges as a switching technology in large scenarios, for the following reasons [4] Virtual LANs (VLANs) were originally conceived in IEEE 802.1Q [5] as a means to arrange multiple workstations into customized logical network topologies, as if they all belong to the same physical LAN. Such a logical clustering of stations within the same physical topology also allowed the partitioning of broadcast domains, thus improving the global performance of LANs.…”

“…Q-in-Q partially solved the limitation of VLAN IDs but brought other drawbacks related to the fact that frames enter the operator's network with the original source and destination MAC addresses [4]. First, there is a potential security risk in having all MAC addresses visible outside the domain of the customer network.…”

“…The Ethernet has reached great success since 1980 as the best technology for local area networks (LANs) [1,2]; it has become the technology of choice in both home and enterprise LANs due to its low cost, flexibility, and plug-and-play characteristics. The Ethernet transmission rate has increased from 10 Mbit/s (when the Ethernet began) to 10 Gbit/s upon the approval of the IEEE 802.3ae standard in 2002 [3], and with the work of the IEEE 802.3 Higher Speed Study Group (HSSG) will reach 100 Gbit/s in 394 A.…”

In this article, an overview is presented about state-of-the-art Ethernet technology and its evolutions beyond local area networks into metropolitan and wide area networks as carrier-grade technologies. It will be shown that the Ethernet can be used to guarantee the performance of current transport technologies in terms of operations, administration and maintenance, quality of service, monitoring, and test capabilities in support of service level agreements; in particular, the Ethernet could replace current transport techniques, simplifying network design and reducing both capital and operational expenditures. The Ethernet data-plane evolution will also be presented, from the virtual bridged local area network up to provider backbone bridging traffic engineering, including the issues related to the control plane. Also indicated is a future scenarios dealing with close interworking with optical technologies. In conclusion, a summary is given of experimental activities carried out on the virtual private local area network service, a current Layer 2 technique that can be assumed as a first step toward a carrier-grade Ethernet, which show the implementation of reliable wide area networks based only on gigabit Ethernet transmission.
