QoE-Guaranteed and Power-Efficient Network Operation for Cloud Radio Access Network With Power Over Fiber.

A concept of cloud radio access networks (C-RANs) is becoming a popular solution to support the required communication quality for new emerging service in the future network environment, i.e., more than 10 Gbps capacity, less than 1 ms latency, and connectivity for numerous devices. In this paper, we envision a C-RAN based on passive optical network (PON) exploiting power over fiber (PoF), which a...
