Heterogeneous networks (HetNets) have attracted intense interest from both academia and industry to potentially improve spatial reuse and coverage, thus allowing cellular systems to achieve higher data rates, while retaining the seamless connectivity and mobility of cellular networks. However, considering the severe inter-tier interference and limited cooperative gains resulting from the constrained and non-ideal transmissions between adjacent base stations, a new paradigm for improving both spectral efficiency and energy efficiency through suppressing inter-tier interference and enhancing the cooperative processing capabilities is needed in the practical evolution of HetNets. Cloud computing technology has emerged as a promising solution for providing high energy efficiency together with gigabit data rates across software defined wireless communication networks, in which the virtualization of communication hardware and software elements place stress on communication networks and protocols. Consequently, heterogeneous cloud radio access networks (H-CRANs) as evolution of cloud radio access networks (C-RANs)have been proposed as cost-effective potential solutions to alleviating inter-tier interference and improving cooperative processing gains in HetNets through combination with cloud computing. In this talk, we will briefly discuss some achievements in C-RANs and introduce some of our initial results in H-CRANs.
