Towards an Optimal Management of the 5G Cloud-RAN through a Spatio-Temporal Prediction of Users’ Dynamics

Abstract: In the emerging 5G architecture, the Cloud-Radio Access Network (Cloud-RAN) offers the possibility to dynamically configure virtual resources and network functionalities very close to end-users, while jointly considering bandwidth, computing, latency, and memory capabilities requested by heterogeneous applications, the channel quality experienced by end-users, mobility, and any kind of system constraints. By capitalizing on recent scientific results and standardization activities on 5G, this short paper presen… Show more

“…To bridge this gap, this work formulates an innovative methodology for the anticipatory allocation of communication and computational resources at the network edge (i.e., task offloading), based on the knowledge of spatio-temporal dynamics of mobile users. The conceived approach significantly extends the very preliminary contributions presented, by the same authors of this work, in [48] and [49]. The considered architecture adopts a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) approach to monitor users' mobility over time.…”

“…Here, gNBs are part of the 3GPP network integrated within the ETSI-MEC architecture. They provide wireless connectivity to mobile users through heterogeneous technical components at the radio interface [48], [61]. It is important to remark that gNBs can be connected to each other in different ways.…”

“…The DataInactivity timer indicates how long the UE context and established radio bearers must be stored during UE inactivity. Typically, the DataInactivity timer is statically configured in the RAN slider with value between few seconds to a few tens of seconds [16]. With the deployment of O-RAN, this timer may be dynamically controlled in case of e. g. emergency situations.…”
