This deliverable reports on the activities of WP3 during the first year of the B5G-OPEN project. The work was split into different activities with the following objectives: Design of an innovative optical transport infrastructure supporting MB connectivity and transparent network continuum potentially from User Equipment to Data Centers. Modelling transmission and traffic performance of the identified MB data plane solutions. Design, prototyping and experimental assessment of the novel optical network devices for switching, amplification and transmission. Exploring and testing optical innovative solutions for MB PON, Point to Multi-point (PtoMP) with low cost and power consumption for next-generation optical access & 5G X-haul. Design and testing the effective integration of fiber with LiFi systems supporting multi-cell simultaneous transmission for bandwidth maximization and effective hand-over. Design, prototyping and testing advanced monitoring solutions to enable efficient and flexible use of the infrastructure.
