Title: Changing requirements from 4G to 5G with respect to the time criticality of the RAN transport

Abstract: The operators adopting 5G are interested in moving to flexible Cloud RAN (C-RAN) architecture that enables them to address different application requirements by locating storage and compute resources either at the base of the cell site or at centralized hubs hundreds of kilometers away. The connection in RAN infrastructure between the baseband unit (BBU) and remote radio head (RRH) is called the fronthaul. Latency is a very important characteristic of the fronthaul network - in this talk we will explore why. We will also look at the different techniques being proposed to solve this need..
