We are still waiting for the real entrance of the multi-core Digital Signal Processing (DSP) into the mobile networks. The reason why we are still waiting for the real breakthrough of virtualized DSP is basically laying in the type of mobile network functions suitable to be located on the multi-core DSP chips, as the high timing requirements are imposed by the rest of the network. This directly depends on which […]

In the following post, I will try to explain the importance and interests of the DSP processing in the cloud, including my vision of how it can be done and why it should be enabled. First of all, the processing of the DSP functions currently in the LTE is supported by the BBU (Baseband unit). BBUs are specialized hardware which process baseband signals coming from the RRUs (Radio Remote Units). […]

In this post, I will try to introduce you a little bit better into the upcoming 5G network. In general, the new generation of mobile networks is called 5G and it has a certain improvement in comparison with previous mobile networks. This mobile network is already tested in the real environment scenarios, apart from the laboratory tests, by several companies like Huawei, Samsung, and Vodafone. The main goals of the […]

The huge increase of generated data in the network it is also bringing a big increase of the metadata used to track what is happening in the network. This kind of data can be fully characterized as a big data as it is fulfilling all 4Vs of Big data, Volume, Variety, Velocity, and Variability. Once Big data is collected and stored it is necessary to process it, which for results […]

The C-RAN (Cloud, Centralized, and Co-operative Radio Access Network) architecture, firstly proposed by China Mobile in 2011 [1] will be one of the very important technologies in the 5G. In this network architecture, base station, known as eNodeB within the LTE network architecture, is disaggregated into two parts: the Radio Remote Unit (RRU) and the Base Band Unit (BBU). The separation is enabling different advantages, like the possibility of sharing […]
