Mobile Optical Pluggables (MOPA)
■The spectrum allocations for the 5th generation mobile systems are growing as well as the rollouts of live 5G networks. These require transport network capacity growth, resulting in an urgent and significant need for high-capacity and cost-effective optical solutions as part of those 5G transport networks.
■Currently, however, there is a lack of a shared and common view for the optical solutions needed for mobile transport [OptConn]. This has several implications:
▲Technological and architectural: a plethora of different architectures and technologies.
▲Cost: challenging choices for operators, system vendors and optical pluggables suppliers to focus on the most relevant needs.
▲Availability: the right solution may not be commercially available at the right time and at the right cost point.
■An improved common understanding and focus can be achieved by making mobile optical blueprints resulting in:
▲Clear optical pluggable needs for operators, systems vendors and optical pluggable suppliers.
▲An eco-system ensuring timely, cost-efficient, and optimized architectures.
■By mobile optical blueprint we mean a network solution description documenting a use case with the optical pluggables and passive optical components (wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) mux, splitter, etc.) implementing that use case, with high-level optical and pluggables requirements.
■The Blueprints in this paper—nineteen in total—cover all globally relevant deployment variants for distributed radio access networks (DRAN), centralized RAN (CRAN) and virtualized RAN (VRAN) for the links connecting the radio units (RUs) with distributed units (DUs), DUs with centralized units (CUs), and CUs with the mobile core.
■In light of new needs for mobile optical networks, this 1.1 version adds the following compared with the 1.0 version from June 2021: 50 Gb/s line rate addad to some Blueprints and adding references to existing optical layer interface standards in the Blueprint tables where applicable.
