5G-XHaul: a converged optical and wireless solution for 5G transport networks

The common European ICT sector vision for 5G is that it should leverage on the strengths of both optical and wireless technologies. In the 5G context, a wide spectra of radio access technologies – such as millimetre wave transmission, massive MIMO, and new waveforms – demand for high capacity, highly flexible and convergent transport networks. As the requirements imposed on future 5G networks r...

A Novel Airborne Self-Organising Architecture for 5G+ Networks

Network Flying Platforms (NFPs) such as unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned balloons or drones flying at low/medium/high altitude can be employed to enhance network coverage and capacity by deploying a swarm of flying platforms that implement novel radio resource management techniques. In this paper, we propose a novel layered architecture where NFPs, of various types and flying at low/medium/hi...

A Satisfactory Power Control for 5G Self-Organizing Networks

Small-Cells are deployed in order to enhance the network performance by bringing the network closer to the user. However, as the number of low power nodes grows increasingly, the overall energy consumption of the Small-Cells base stations cannot be ignored. A relevant amount of energy could be saved through several techniques, especially power control mechanisms. In this paper, we are concerned...
