CONFES project aims to evolve the architecture of existing wireless-optical broadband transmission networks, to serve both next generation mobile networks and fixed metropolitan networks.
Specifically, the objectives of the Project are the following:
Specifically, the objectives of the Project are the following:
- Overall architecture definition of a hybrid wired/wireless network infrastructure, with guaranteed quality and high end-to-end efficiency.
- Implementation of appropriate traffic management entities in both the base station (BS-ODORA) and the optical element domain (ONU/OLT-ODORA), as well as the allocation protocol (ODORAP) of the backhaul resource requirements from base stations to the optical network.
- Integration of the CONFES solution in commercially available management platforms of new generation systems (LTE).
- Trial and operation demonstration, analysis of results and technical evaluation of the CONFES solution.
- Conduction of techno-economic studies to investigate the commercial feasibility of the solution, based on CONFES use-case scenarios incorporated to existing/future networks, telecommunication traffic models, charging parameters, SLAs between involved parties (network/service operators, users), etc.
- Architecture expansion consideration for integrating WDM technologies, to meet future capacity requirements while minimizing the cost of infrastructure upgrades.
