Abstract: The next generation Radio Access Network (RAN ) is evolving in a distributed style with network architecture flattening out. Base stations in the next generation RAN cooperatively optimize the radio resource allocation to improve spectral efficiency. In addition, base-band pool technology reduces the CAPEX and OPEX of RAN by greatly improving the efficiency of resource usage and decreasing the space requirements for equipment.
