Abstract :
As a future step of LTE-Advanced, future radio access based on large numbers of small cells of various types has been studied. Possible architectures and requirements of a mobile optical network that forms mobile fronthaul and mobile backhaul of the small cells, as well as some passive optical network (PON)-based technologies are provided.
