碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 資訊工程學系研究所 === 106 === This thesis is to verify the different cloud radio access network architectures based on open source software. 5G mobile is coming, andopen source software plays an important role, they provide platform to verify the 5G concept and algorithm. Most researchers will use OpenStack, Docker, OpenAirInterface and other open source software to implement Cloud-RAN, but different researchers to establish the Cloud-RAN will have a certain degree of difference. This thesis will use OpenStack, Docker, OpenAirInterface, VPN to implement the different Cloud-RAN architecture. We evaluate performance for these architectures, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of different architectures by testing packet loss, latency, downlink, and uplink. According to the results of the performance evaluation, the use of containerized Cloud-RAN and combination of VPN on OpenStack is the most flexible architecture, which is different form the traditional C-RAN architecture.For the future 5G environment construction, this thesis proposes a relatively feasible solution architecture.This thesis can make C-RAN be completed in seconds, and the Cloud-RAN can be used in anywhere via VPN. For the future 5G environment construction, this thesis proposes a relatively feasible solution architecture.
