What is Cloud Memory

Chapter 7
Fundamental and Supportive Technologies for 5G Mobile Networks
It is a secondary storage device which keeps all the data. If there is a cache miss, the data can be accessed from cloud memory.

Abstract
Cloud radio access networks (CRAN) have been proposed for 5G technologies to provide improved scalability, flexibility, and performance for supporting rapid increase of IoT devices. This chapter designs a new efficient cache management scheme for the baseband unit (BBU) pool in CRAN. First, it adopts the exponential-decay (EXD) scheme to keep recently frequently requested records in cache and enhances it with analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to support multiple levels of mobility and QoS. The other new algorithms include a probability-based scoring scheme, a hierarchical, or tiered, approach, and enhancements to previously existing approaches. Performance evaluation shows that the new schemes offer high cache hit ratios and a reduction in network traffic as compared with other existing and classic caching mechanisms. The authors believe that this work is important in advancing 5G technology for supporting IoT services and is also useful to other cache management systems.
