The continued growth of both mobile broadband and fixed broadband subscriptions as well as the added deployment of Internet of Things devices has led to making 5G networks a reality. More specifically, 5G networks are expected to support a diverse set of new applications/services in addition to existing applications/services from previous generatio...

Resources of Passive Optical Networks (PONs) can be shared by a diverse spectrum of customers such as residential users, business subscribers, mobile network operators, and service providers. A PON customer can rent one or several Optical Network Units (ONUs) from an Infrastructure Service Provider. The ONUs of a customer (multi-ONU customer) can b...

This paper presents a novel co-existence of multiple Fifth-Generation (5G) services employing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) waveforms in a resilient photonic Millimeter-wave (mmWave) mobile fronthaul architecture. The 5G services are delivered to the remote antenna using shared optical infrast...

Cloud radio access network and the subsequent next-generation fronthaul interface are the key solutions for the upcoming 5G deployment. In both architectures, the baseband units (BBUs) are centralized, and remote radio units (RRUs) are separately allocated, where the BBUs and RRUs are connected through a fronthaul network with common public radio i...

5G New Radio allows operators to use new and wider spectrum and complements Long-Term Evolution networks with higher data rates and lower latency. Supporting such requirements in the transport network is not only a technological challenge, but a financial one as well. The use of high-frequency or unlicensed spectrum and cell densification for capac...

With both mobile network services and related data traffic volume on the rise, reliability of the radio access network is of the essence. A number of radio functional splits are defined by 3GPP to offer increased flexibility of implementation and feasibility of new mobile network services. For example, it is possible to implement certain radio func...

Time-Triggered Ethernet (TTE) Network is a communication network which combines the time-triggered traffic and event-triggered traffic. Based on network calculation, the adopted model in TTE considers the worst case which assumes a number of traffic simultaneously arrive at a node and each virtual link work is fully loaded. Such assumptions lead to...

Massive MIMO (mMIMO) is a technology with high potential in future 5G radio access networks (RAN). As a crucial feature in mMIMO, beam-forming provides a remarkable enhancement for the wireless transmission. However, beam-forming introduces extra wireless resource and fronthaul bandwidth consumption for utilizing multiple antennas to transmit the s...
