摘要翻译：
研究了面向5G的云无线接入网和雾无线接入网的用户小区关联（或用户分簇）和波束形成设计。CRAN能够在多个接入点服务的所有小小区上实现云集中的资源和功率分配优化。然而，将每个AP连接到云的fronthaul链路引入延迟，并导致过时的信道状态信息(CSI)。相比之下，FogRAN以局部优化为代价，实现了更低的延迟和更好的CSI质量。为了解决这些问题，我们提出了一种混合算法，该算法既利用了云的集中特性，利用过时的CSIs进行全局优化的预调度，又利用了FogRAN的分布式特性，利用高质量的CSIs进行精确的波束形成。集中式阶段能够考虑全局网络上的干扰模式，而分布式阶段允许减少延迟。仿真结果表明，在CSI不完善的情况下，FogRAN混合算法在吞吐量和时延方面都优于集中式算法。

英文摘要：
  We investigate the user-to-cell association (or user-clustering) and beamforming design for Cloud Radio Access Networks (CRANs) and Fog Radio Access Networks (FogRANs) for 5G. CRAN enables cloud centralized resource and power allocation optimization over all the small cells served by multiple Access Points (APs). However, the fronthaul links connecting each AP to the cloud introduce delays and cause outdated Channel State Information (CSI). By contrast, FogRAN enables lower latencies and better CSI qualities, at the cost of local optimization. To alleviate these issues, we propose a hybrid algorithm exploiting both the centralized feature of the cloud for globally-optimized pre-scheduling using outdated CSIs and the distributed nature of FogRAN for accurate beamforming with high quality CSIs. The centralized phase enables to consider the interference patterns over the global network, while the distributed phase allows for latency reduction. Simulation results show that our hybrid algorithm for FogRAN outperforms the centralized algorithm under imperfect CSI, both in terms of throughput and delays.
