Abstract
In this paper, a cloud radio access network (C-RAN) is considered where the baseband units form a pool of computational resource units and are separated from the remote radio heads (RRHs). Based on their radio capacity, the RRHs may form one or many clusters: a single cluster when all RRHs have the same capacity and multi-clusters where RRHs of the same radio capacity are grouped in the same cluster. Each RRH services the so-called multiservice traffic, i.e., calls from many service classes with various radio and computational resource requirements. Calls arrive in the RRHs according to a quasi-random process. This means that new calls are generated by a finite number of mobile users. Arriving calls require simultaneously computational and radio resource units in order to be accepted in the system, i.e., in the serving RRH. If their requirements are met, then these calls are served in the (serving) RRH for a service time which is generally distributed. Otherwise, call blocking occurs. We start with the single-cluster C-RAN and model it as a multiservice loss system, prove that the model has a product form solution, and determine time congestion probabilities via a convolution algorithm whose accuracy is validated with the aid of simulation. Furthermore, the previous model is generalized to include the more complex case of more than one clusters.
