| Abstract | Over 100 trillion megabytes of data are currently consumed per year by mobile users in the U.S. alone. All this traffic is transported to users’ devices through cell sites (base stations) from the cloud. In a traditional cellular network, both the radio head and the baseband processing unit are located together at the cell site. In future radio access networks (RANs), the radio unit (RU) is located at the cell site while the processing unit is located at the distributed/centralized unit (DU/CU), |
