Cloud-Based Platform Solution for 5G Heterogeneous Networks

Abstract

The future of mobile communications is expected to be very diverse from the way it works today. Researches in 5G wireless networks are actively developing and improving nowadays technologies. To assist the enormous mobile data, a huge amount of very small cells are expected to be deployed everywhere, including buildings and indoors, providing progress in the heterogeneous networks, which is considered as the main method towards 5G. Also, the 5G air interface and spectrum should be linked together with LTE and WiFi to provide universal high-rate coverage. There are three technologies, mobile computing, wireless networks, and cloud computing that are converging into a field of Mobile Cloud Computing. With such massive heterogeneous networks, providers will face many difficult challenges in terms of procedure and administration, tiny cell deployment in economical manner, and intercell interference mitigation. Hence, cloud-based platform solution is great challenge for heterogeneous mobile and wireless networks in 5G.
