Joint Optimization of Wireless Fronthaul and Access Links in CRAN with a Massive MIMO Central Unit (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Huang, Y., & Ikhlef, A. (2022, May). Joint Optimization of Wireless Fronthaul and Access Links in CRAN with a Massive MIMO Central Unit. Presented at 2022 IEEE International Conference on Communications, Seoul, South Korea

We propose a new downlink cloud radio access network (CRAN) architecture with wireless fronthaul and access links and a central unit (CU) that is equipped with a very large antenna array to serve multiple multi-antenna remote radio heads (RRHs) that...

Sum-rate Maximization in Uplink CRAN with a Massive MIMO Fronthaul (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maryopi, D., Yingjia, H., & Ikhlef, A. (2021, December). Sum-rate Maximization in Uplink CRAN with a Massive MIMO Fronthaul. Presented at 2021 IEEE GLOBECOM Workshops, Madrid, Spain

The limited fronthaul capacity is known to be one of the main problems in cloud radio access networks (CRANs), especially in the wireless fronthaul links. In this paper, we consider the uplink of a CRAN system, where massive multiple-input multiple-o... Read More about Sum-rate Maximization in Uplink CRAN with a Massive MIMO Fronthaul.

Joint Design of Fronthaul and Access Links in Massive MIMO Multi-UAV-enabled CRANs (2021)
Journal Article
Huang, Y., & Ikhlef, A. (2021). Joint Design of Fronthaul and Access Links in Massive MIMO Multi-UAV-enabled CRANs. IEEE Wireless Communications Letters, 10(11), 2355-2359. https://doi.org/10.1109/lwc.2021.3100320

This paper proposes a novel architecture of multi-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled cloud radio access network (CRAN). In particular, we propose to deploy the UAVs as flying remote radio heads (RRHs) to serve ground user equipments (UEs). The bas...
