description The cloud radio access network (Cloud-RAN) has recently been proposed as one cost-effective and energy-efficient technique for 5G wireless networks. By moving the signal processing functionality to a single baseband unit (BBU) pool, centralized signal processing and resource allocation are enabled in Cloud-RAN, thereby providing the promise of improving the energy efficiency via effective network adaptation and interference management. In this paper, we propose a holistic sparse optimization framework to design green Cloud-RAN by taking into consideration the power consumption of the fronthaul links, multicast services, as well as user admission control. Specifically, we first identify the sparsity structures in the solutions of both the network power minimization and user admission control problems. However, finding the optimal sparsity structures turns out to be NP-hard, with the coupled challenges of the l0-norm based objective functions and the nonconvex quadratic QoS constraints due to multicast beamforming. In contrast to the previous works on convex but non-smooth sparsity inducing approaches, e.g., the group sparse beamforming algorithm based on the mixed l1/l2-norm relaxation [1], we adopt the nonconvex but smoothed lp-minimization (0 < p
