End-to-End Time-Sensitive Optical Networking: Challenges and Solutions
Yvan Pointurier, Nihel Benzaoui, Wolfram Lautenschlaeger, Lars Dembeck · Journal of Lightwave Technology · 2019
Time-sensitive applications, most notably, for 5G fronthauling and Industry 4.0, require deterministic (jitter-free) low-latency, highly reactive, and trustable networks, as opposed to today's best effort Internet. We review existing solutions, both established and at the research stage, and compare them for key next-generation 5G fronthauling and industrial requirements.
