> High data rates  short reach  small cells  a large number of base stations
> High requirements on backhaul and core networks
> Important to achieve: extremely high capacities, very short latency, low energy costs
> C-RAN: Centralized baseband processing  low operational cost  tight coordination
features  high CPRI bandwidths and stringent delay and jitter requirements 
optical/wireless convergence
