Software Defined Hyper Cellular Architecture for Green & Smart Service Provisioning in 5G Networks WP1.2: Energy and spectrum efficient BS coordination under the separation architecture Dynamic and flexible UL/DL TDD in small cells is of high importance in 5G with far-reaching impact (across link & network level). Problem: How to optimize cell specific UL/DL duty cycle as a function of interference, cell density, traffic load? Coordinated vs. Non-coordinated solutions are needed Proposal/Focus: Decoupling across UL/DL but also different RATs; Baselines include: 1) fixed UL/DL transmission patterns; 2) UL/DL from same BS. WP2.1: Content-aware data caching with data BSs/small cells Edge caching is a disruptive component for 5G aiming at reducing latency, improved QoE, turning storage into bandwidth. Cell density- Storage-bandwidth tradeoff: 1) what is the optimal cell density that should b deployed given storage and bandwidth constraints? 2) caching strategies taking into account file popularity, traffic load, storage constraints, etc. Stochastic geometry approach: Challenge is to model and characterize the users quality of experience, (cache hit ratio or other metrics) as a function of random location of base stations, user and content popularity. 5 ACADEMY OF FINLAND
