TL;DR

This work introduces a modular power model that captures the interplay between radios, fronthaul, and cloud processing and highlights how design choices, such as functional splits and precoding strategies, shape both fronthaul data load and total power consumption.

Fronthaul Compression and RIS Beamforming Design for Cloud-RAN: Active RIS Versus Passive RIS

This letter investigates a multi-cell reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted cloud radio access network (Cloud-RAN), where multiple remote radio heads (RRHs) are connected to a central unit (CU) via limited-capacity fronthaul links, and multiple user equipments (UEs) in each cell are supported by dedicated R...

Uplink Hardware Impairments in OFDM-Based Cell-Free Massive MIMO With Impaired Wireless Fronthaul

A unified analytical framework is developed to characterize the aggregate impact of hardware distortions across the access and fronthaul links and a max-min fair resource allocation framework is developed to jointly optimize the uplink transmit powers, fronthaul transmit powers, and fronthaul time expansion factor.
