Exponential increase in data rate demand has lead to the periodic upgrade of mobile network infrastructure, with a new generation of wireless access technology being developed every decade.
In this paper, we perform a survey on new 3GPP LTE-Advanced enhancements, covering the technologies recently adopted by 3GPP in the Release 11 and those being discussed in the Release 12.
In 3GPP Rel-13, a narrowband system, named Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT), has been introduced to provide low-cost, low-power, wide-area cellular connectivity for the Internet of Things.
We consider networks consisting of optical cross-connects interconnected via fiber optic links and controlled by IP routes.
With the advent of content-centric networking (CCN) where contents can be cached on each CCN router, cache robustness will soon emerge as a serious concern for CCN deployment.
We consider cellular base stations (BSs) equipped with a large number of antennas and operating in the unlicensed band. We denote such system as massive MIMO unlicensed (mMIMO-U).
