EMERGING OPTICAL ACCESS NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES FOR 5G WIRELESS

With the advent of Radio Access Networks (RAN) more

and more wireless connectivity is on the go for data sharing or

telephony. So, in this paper the emerging optical access network

(OAN) techniques are discussed that will support 5G for high

capacity, low latency and low cost/power per bit. More discussions on

high capacity passive optical network (PON) like 100 Gbit PON will be

reviewed. In addition to this finally advanced modulation and

detection techniques, DSP for OAN, efficient mobile fronthaul

techniques and RAN-PON coordination are discussed for increasing

the efficiency of OAN for wireless 5G.
