Abstract

This paper provides an overview of joint radio access network (RAN) and backhaul (BH) optimization methods in dense small cell networks, assuming a heterogeneous backhaul and centralization by Cloud RAN. The main focus is on the design of novel MAC (medium access control) and RRM (radio resource management) schemes for constrained, non-ideal backhaul which can influence the RAN performance. In this context, we provide some key technology approaches which incorporate the RAN/BH awareness at the cloud and exploit the benefits of Cloud-RAN by dynamically adapting to BH constraints.
