In this work, we experimentally assess the transmission of a PDCP-RLC virtualised RAN split interface through a commercial XGS-PON system. We investigate the impacts of DBA on the uplink and packet jitter on the downlink.
We successfully demonstrate a transmission of a high layer split mobile interface for cell-less, high-speed train network applications using a commercially available XGS-PON. Operation is also demonstrated for a GbE interface.
Combining Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) architecture with Radio over Fibre (RoF) technology could be a cost-efficient and attractive solution for operators for the distribution of 3G Base Stations (BS). We have implemented a PON delivering 2 BS with WDM lasers at Remote Base Station (RBS) and a single photodiode at the Central Office (CO). An experimental study of this architecture for two BS has been performed and successful transmission has been shown for both uplink and downlink transmission. These results have been used to demonstrate the feasibility of distributing 12 3G BS over a 20km link on a GPON architecture. Index Terms -Radio over Fibre (RoF), Passive Optical Network (PON), 3G.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
