This comprehensive overview explores the integration of wireless network architecture with cloud computing. It covers essential topics like SMS/MMS management, service billing, and the roles of base stations in 2G through 4G networks. The discussion includes passive vs. active infrastructure sharing, the convergence of IT platforms, and the use of software-defined radio (SDR) and remote radio heads (RRH). Key challenges such as ensuring real-time synchronization, cooperation between base stations, and optimizing performance are also addressed.
