Abstract :
This paper addresses the important issue of how to optimize the performance of the current mobile backhaul radio access network (RAN) infrastructure to cope with the growing and dynamic nature of the emerging data-centric mobile multimedia traffic and services. Specifically, this work proposes and devises a simple and cost-effective EPON-based dynamic multiservice RAN architecture that efficiently transports and supports a wide range of existing and emerging data-centric mobile multimedia traffic and services along with the diverse quality of service (QoS) and rate requirements set by these services.
