Dr. Chao Fang, Associate Professor

School of Information Science and Technology, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing, China

Biography: Dr. Chao Fang received his B.S degree in Information Engineering from Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China, in 2009, and the Ph.D. degree with the State Key Laboratory of Networking and Switching Technology in Information and Communication Engineering from Beijing University of Posts and Te4lecommunications, Beijing, China, in 2015. He joined the Beijing University of Technology in 2016 and now is an associate professor. From August 2013 to August 2014, he had been funded by China Scholarship Council to visit Carleton University, Ottawa, ON, Canada, as a joint doctorate. Moreover, he is the visiting scholars of University of Technology Sydney, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Kyoto University, Muroran Institute of Technology, and Queen Mary University of London. Dr. Fang is the senior member of IEEE, and the vice chair of technical affairs committee in IEEE ComSoc Asia/Pacific Region (2022-2023). Moreover, he served as the Technical Program Committee Chair of SPCNC 2024, the Session Chairs of ICC 2015, ICCC 2023, and WCNC 2024, Workshop Chairs of ICFEICT (2022-2024) and ICNCIC (2023-2024), and Poster Co-Chair of HotICN 2018. He won the Best Paper Award of IEEE ICFEICT 2022 and 2024, ICCSN 2024, and NCIC 2024. His current research interests include future networks, cloud-edge-terminal cooperation computing, and intelligent network control.

Topic: Collaborative Allocation and Intelligent Optimization of Service-Driven Cloud Radio Access Network Resources

Abstract: In order to meet the service requirements of the emerging applications such as extended reality, 8K ultra-high definition video transmission and industrial Internet of Things in terms of massive user access, heterogeneous mobile traffic processing, ultra-low latency, ultra-high reliability and other aspects, cloud-edge collaboration, as the core of cloud radio access networks (C-RAN), has been increasingly concerned and risen to the height of national development strategy. At present, the problem on cooperative allocation and optimization of cloud-edge-end resources in C-RAN is still in the initial research stage, lacking systematic and in-depth research, which makes it difficult to adaptively guarantee the differentiated service requirements of network business. Therefore, by sorting out and referring to the research ideas and methods related to cloud computing and fog computing, and drawing on future network concepts such as "separation of control and forwarding" in software-defined networking and "in-network caching" in information-centric networking, the project focuses on collaborative allocation and intelligent optimization mechanisms of service-driven C-RAN resources from the perspective of cross-layer and cross-domain cooperation. To improve the overall service capacity and satisfy the differentiated service requirements of massive applications, key technologies such as multi-user-oriented cross-layer collaboration allocation and intelligent optimization of cloud-edge-terminal resources, multi-business-oriented cross-layer collaboration and intelligent resource allocation, multi-business-oriented cross-domain collaboration and intelligent resource allocation will be solved in C-RAN environments, providing customized service for network applications.
