Fifth generation of mobile networks (5G) is designed to introduce a multitude of new services which require higher processing resources and lower latency. Cloud Radio Access Network (Cloud RAN) is one of the most promising solutions for next generation networks. The basic idea of C-RAN is to migrate Baseband Units (BBU) to the cloud for a centralized processing and management. In our work, we propose to extend C-RAN architecture with an edge cloud: the Cloud RRH in order to enhance the quality of service (QoS). In this paper we propose a service orchestrator in the Cloud RAN based edge cloud in order to enhance resources utilization while keeping a good QoS.
