Abstract :
The convergence of fixed transport networks based on high-speed optical infrastructure and a broadband spectrally efficient wireless component has been identified as a key enabler of future access networks. We will present different approaches to implement hybrid fibre-radio infrastructures suited for cloud radio access networks that will provide a framework for advanced cooperation, interference control/alignment, network virtualization, and cognitive schemes.
