Abstract:
Cloud-radio access Network (C-RAN) develops as an answer for fulfill the interest for an
assorted scope of utilizations, enormous availability, and system heterogeneity. C-RAN
utilizes focal cloud arrange for handling client demands. Effective administration of cloud
assets (e.g., calculation and transmission assets) is one of the significant difficulties in C-
RAN. In this work, noble approach is been proposed of workload allocation between small
cell and microcell of H-CRAN (Heterogeneous Cloud-Radio Access Network). This
proposal is been verified by the simulation model designed in INET 4.2 under OMNET ++
5.5.1. The simulation results show that proposed method illustrate better result than existing
method in terms of Access Point Power (AP Power), Diversity Gain and End-to-End Delay
(E2E Delay).
Description:
Our proposed architecture is to balance the workload between macro cells and
small cells. There has been extensive study of small cells and heterogeneous cell structures
in the literature. A detailed survey and deployment of small cells in LTE and UMTS
network have been studied in [4]. The authors in [5] provides an overview of the key drivers
and major challenges for small cell deployment and demonstrate how densification can be
complemented by advanced MIMO and small cells to accommodate the anticipated traffic
demand. The architecture of small cell network combined with LTE wireless network has
been reviewed in [6] along with performance evaluation and future deployment scopes with
5G network. Cambridge University Press published an excellent source for understanding
small cells in 5G mobile network [7]. The book includes the architecture, configuration and
application of all facets of the small cell network. It also discusses emerging trends,
priorities for research resource management, energy efficiency, performance analysis,
implementation approaches, standardization practices, environmental concerns, and
maintaining mobility in heterogeneous small cell networks. In [8] The authors talked about
the development and deployment of small cells as well as the technical challenges
associated with small cell network design, deployment and optimization. They also
discussed main operational aspects such as bandwidth availability, mobility management,
interruption control, energy efficiency, backhaul, deployment planning, frequency
allocation / access method and heterogeneous network management. Numerous studies
have been carried out on the use of small cells. Most of these studies are operations,
administration, network control, intrusion management, LIPA (Local IP Access),
connectivity and design.
