“…In [28], we use the same smart SFP+/OLT modules, PON abstraction of [27] and vRAN/vEPC interfaces [26] but this time connected to a generic server. We consider a scenario where the server would host multi-access edge computing (MEC) and vRAN functionalities.…”

In this invited paper, we discuss how optical fibers, the de-facto choice for last-mile connectivity of radio access network equipment, can rise to the challenges of 5G. We start by addressing technologies and trends for pointto-point connectivity, from fully passive to auto-tunable wavelength division multiplexing. Then, we assess niche solutions based on point-to-multipoint optical connectivity and possible scenarios allowing fixed-mobile convergent topologies. Finally, we briefly exploit the potential of abstraction of optical and radio access equipment through software defined networking for intelligent and multi-tenancy ready traffic management compliant with the constraints of mobile interfaces and hosting locations of cloud infrastructures.

“…Our previous work [16] demonstrated the feasibility to send a mid-haul PDCP-RLC [17] mobile functional split traffic between a macro antenna site connected with a PtP link and a small-cell connected with a PtMP link. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a 5G self-healing application following with a dynamic PtMP bandwidth allocation reconfiguration according to prioritization policy when both mobile and fixed clients attached to the PON infrastructure.…”
