“…The interconnection of PONs and various mesh networks is achieved by means of wireless gateways located in mesh coverage networks. Convergence of WDM-PONs with LTE technologies was presented in [17]. Each eNB is integrated with the corresponding ONU located at an optical ring, while the EPC is connected to the OLT.…”

Modern broadband hybrid optical-wireless access networks have gained the attention of academia and industry due to their strategic advantages (cost-efficiency, huge bandwidth, flexibility, and mobility). At the same time, the proliferation of Software Defined Networking (SDN) enables the efficient reconfiguration of the underlying network components dynamically using SDN controllers. Hence, effective traffic-aware schemes are feasible in dynamically determining suitable configuration parameters for advancing the network performance. To this end, a novel machine learning mechanism is proposed for an SDN-enabled hybrid opticalwireless network. The proposed architecture consists of a 10-gigabit-capable passive optical network (XG-PON) in the network backhaul and multiple Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio access networks in the fronthaul. The proposed mechanism receives traffic-aware knowledge from the SDN controllers and applies an adjustment on the uplink-downlink configuration in the LTE radio communication. This traffic-aware mechanism is capable of determining the most suitable configuration based on the traffic dynamics in the whole hybrid network. The introduced scheme is evaluated in a realistic environment using real traffic traces such as Voice over IP (VoIP), real-time video, and streaming video. According to the obtained numerical results, the proposed mechanism offers significant improvements in the network performance in terms of latency and jitter.

“…Moreover, the ONUs have to wait for their uplink transmission window before being able to transmit the inter-ONU packets, which increases delay. In [6], a ring-based EPON architecture has been proposed where the ONUs are allowed to interact with each other without the direct intervention of the OLT. However, a separate wavelength for the inter-ONU communication is to be reserved and a distributed protocol must be executed by the ONUs to access that wavelength.…”

This paper proposes a ring-based integrated wireless optical network architecture and an associated protocol that involves Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) and long term evolution (LTE) wireless network. The architecture along with the proposed protocol is instrumental toward the reduction of handover delay. The proposed ring-based EPON architecture facilitates the implementation of the X2 interface for LTE network by enabling the optical network units of the EPON backhaul to directly communicate with each other. The work further discusses about an open access network architecture where a single EPON can be used by multiple mobile service providers without compromising information security. Extensive simulations have been carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed network. An analytical model has been introduced to calculate the queuing delay experienced by the X2 interface. The model has been validated with the simulations results. Index Terms-EPON, handover, LTE, mobile backhauling, open access, ring topology, RPR, token ring, wireless optical integrated network, X2.

“…DD based system configuration is cost efficient due to the reduced amount of required components. The OFDM modulated data from each antenna are up-converted to 2 GHz and 2.6 GHz respectively by taking the advantage of the spectrum bands allocated for LTE [1,12]. In RN, it is practically possible to transmit two frequencies with a single antenna that has multiband transmission capability to the respective UE's [13].…”
