Next-generation access/mobile networks have set high standards in terms of providing
wireless services at high data rates in order to keep up with the vast demands for other …

To accommodate the heterogeneous requirements of emerging 5G services, 5G Radio
Access Network (RAN) will support the rising paradigm of network slicing, where a single …

To meet emerging mobile traffic requirements, Centralized Radio Access Network (C-RAN)
has been proposed to split the base station (BS) into two functional entities: the baseband …

Future mobile networks will offer high data rates based on high-capacity fronthaul. Current
fronthaul design has two main components that communicate via the common public radio …

In this paper, we propose a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based algorithm to generate
policies of Baseband Function (BBF) placement and routing. In order to explore the …

WDM-PON-based mobile edge computing (MEC)-enabled fiber wireless access networks
(MFWAN) have been identified as a promising technology for next-generation broadband …

The previously reported hybrid orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-digital filter
multiple access (OFDM-DFMA) PONs offer promising solutions for seamlessly converging …

The convergence of optical and wireless networks, and the marginalization of centralized
data centers are required for next-generation telecommunications. According to the …

Network slicing is a key enabling technology to realize the provisioning of customized
services in 5G paradigm. Due to logical isolation instead of physical isolation, network …

The high spectrum efficiency of massive multiple input multiple output (mMIMO)-enabled
beamforming is attractive for solving the massive number of connections in next-generation …
