Packet-switched fronthaul networks are often designed following the rule that the worst-case
network delay must be below a given target end-to-end network latency budget. However …

Current approaches to the fronthaul for centralized, or cloud, radio access networks (C-
RANs) need to be revised to meet the requirements of next-generation mobile networks …

The RAN architecture towards mobile 5G and beyond is undergoing a fundamental
evolution, which brings optics into the radio world. Fronthaul is a new segment that …

We assess the performance of two distinct functional splits based on latency/latency
variation and mapping efficiency, both individually and in unison. By considering hardware …

A fronthaul design for current and future mobile networks based on the transport of sampled
radio signals from/to base station baseband processing units to/from remote radio heads …

Fronthaul networks are leveraging communication links between the remote radio heads
and baseband units in cloud radio access networks, and common public radio interface …

Standardization bodies such as IEEE and 3GPP, as well as other interest groups, are in the
process of defining and standardizing different functional subdivisions within mobile network …

This paper investigates and compares the performance of different scheduling techniques in
an Ethernet fronthaul network in the presence of both time-sensitive/high priority and …

In the optical network, researchers face the major challenges and issues like improper
packet scheduling, inadequate number of packet switching, less response time of switch and …

Abstract An Upper Physical layer functional Split (UPS) for an Ethernet fronthaul network is
modelled, and the frame delay and Frame Delay Variation (FDV) limitations are investigated …
