Abstract

In general, cellular network is deployed as distributed network architecture, so network equipment is spread out all over the coverage area. This case causes high cost. Recently, centralized network architecture has been deployable at cellular network since base station was able to be virtualized due to advance in computing power. The centralized network architecture in cellular network adjusts its cell radius dynamically and minimizes power consumption of the network. This paper introduces a new centralized deployment way of cellular network using SDR and cloud computing technology. Then, advantage and feasibility of the new network will be reviewed by implementing this novel network.
