When
December 6-8, 2017
Introduction
The move from traditional macro and small cell architectures to a centralized one in C-RAN and vRAN may be viewed as part of the transition to virtualized networks. This workshop will explore short term opportunities and longer-term potential for more efficient traffic and interference management, optimized applications, services, and content delivery
Workshop Goals
- Understand network architecture choices and trade-offs
- Explore network evolution for macro, small cell, DAS, etc. towards 5G
- Discuss and debate 4G architectural choices towards 5G
