Cloud radio access networks (C-RANs) will be part of the next generation of wireless technology and will provide a leap forward in spectral efficiency. C-RANs promote a fundamental paradigm shift by employing a large number of simple base stations that consist only of radio heads (RRUs), while aggregating the baseband units (BBUs) of multiple base stations together at processing clouds connected through optical fiber or microwave links. This project will harness the potential offered by the centralization of the BBUs and the availability of a large number of distributed RRUs to attain scalable performance gains. This will foster the proliferation and improved penetration of wireless technology by supporting inexpensive, high-quality, ubiquitous energy-efficient spectrum access through emerging C-RAN technologies. The wider adoption of wireless technologies will allow traditionally under-served Americans to have better access to information services, thereby improving the nation's economic welfare. Graduate and undergraduate students will be trained in analytical and empirical research methods, which will improve the training of the nation's workforce. Collaboration will be fostered, and the results of the effort will be shared with the community through workshops focused on C-RAN technology. The research team will engage in activities to reduce the gender-gap in engineering by engaging local women in science and engineering clubs. The project develops a cross-layer approach to the design of scalable and efficient network strategies for C-RANs through a combination of mathematical techniques, exploration of context-specific tradeoffs, and innovative empirical strategies. The project seeks to 1) design optimal, information-theoretic codes and establish fundamental tradeoffs between coordination and communication rates for realistic scenarios; 2) design C-RAN scheduling techniques that cater to these optimal codes, as well as network dynamics, requested content, users' mobility, and radio conditions to provide scalable and efficient solutions for improved wireless communications; and (3) perform experimental prototyping of resulting communication and coding strategies on a C-RAN enabled wireless testbed to provide empirical performance validation and validate the underlying assumptions and models. The project is a holistic effort that will apply and contribute to the fields of information theory, queueing, and game theory as well as mathematical optimization, and empirical wireless research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

云无线电访问网络（C-RAN）将成为下一代无线技术的一部分，并将在频谱效率方面提供飞跃。 C-RAN通过使用仅由无线电头（RRU）组成的大量简单基站来促进基本范式转移，同时在通过光纤或微波链路连接的处理云下共同将多个基站的基带单元（BBU）汇总在一起。该项目将利用BBU的集中化和大量分布式RRU的可用性来实现可扩展性能提升所提供的潜力。这将通过支持廉价，高质量，无处不在的节能频谱通过新兴的C-RAN技术访问廉价，高质量的能源有效的光谱来促进无线技术的渗透。无线技术的更广泛采用将使传统服务不足的美国人能够更好地获得信息服务，从而改善国家的经济福利。研究生和本科生将接受分析和经验研究方法的培训，这将改善对国家劳动力的培训。将培养合作，并通过专注于C-RAN技术的研讨会与社区共享努力的结果。研究团队将通过与当地妇女参与科学和工程俱乐部的活动来从事工程中的性别差距。该项目通过数学技术的结合，特定于上下文特定的权衡以及创新的经验策略来开发一种跨层方法，以设计可扩展有效的网络策略为C-RAN的设计。该项目寻求1）设计最佳，信息理论代码，并在现实情况下建立协调率和沟通率之间的基本权衡； 2）设计C-RAN调度技术，可满足这些最佳代码以及网络动态，请求的内容，用户的移动性和无线电条件，以提供可扩展有效的解决方案，以改善无线通信； （3）在C-RAN上执行所得通信和编码策略的实验原型，使无线测试床提供了经验绩效验证并验证基本的假设和模型。该项目是一项整体努力，将应用并为信息理论，排队和游戏理论以及数学优化以及经验无线研究的领域做出贡献。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来支持的。
