Cross-stratum resources integration in fog-Computing-based radio over fiber networks for 5G services

摘要

In this paper, we present a novel cross-stratum resources integration (CSRI) architecture in fog-computing-based radio over fiber networks (F-RoFN) for 5G services. Additionally, a cross-stratum optimization (CSO) scheme is introduced in the proposed architecture. The CSRI architecture with CSO scheme can effectively pull the remote processing resource locally to implement the cooperative radio resource management, enhance the responsiveness to the dynamic end-to-end 5G service demands, and reduce the blocking probability to globally optimize optical network and application resources. The feasibility and efficiency of the proposed architecture are experimentally verified on our testbed.
