Impact of Fronthaul Signal Degradation on CRAN End-Users

In this work, we investigate the impact of fron-thaul degradation on the end-user performance of a CRAN based network, as is the case of 4G and 5G. Several scenarios, considering different transmission rates in fronthaul are experimentally analyzed. In addition, different bandwidths in the wireless...

Summary:In this work, we investigate the impact of fron-thaul degradation on the end-user performance of a CRAN based network, as is the case of 4G and 5G. Several scenarios, considering different transmission rates in fronthaul are experimentally analyzed. In addition, different bandwidths in the wireless transmission channel are also considered. The results show that the degradation of the fronthaul signal may cause up to 56.6& of loss in the end-user throughput. However, lower transmission rates in fronthaul implies low distortion, allowing satisfactory performance of the end-users.
