Poziv na predavanje: Slaviša Aleksić "Considerations towards 5G Optical Transport Networks"

Sažetak:

5G wireless networks are expected to provide ubiquitous network access at very high-data rates and extremely low latencies in order to meet very high requirements of emerging services. They will enable a high level of digitalization, transformation of the industry, machine-to-machine communication, and many other innovative commercial, industrial and private applications. Both emerging services and current developments in radio access networks will have a considerable impact on the wireless backhaul and transport networks, forcing them to evolve towards more scalable, flexible and efficient architectures. In order to optimally support the emerging applications and a rapid development of 5G wireless networks, future optical networks, which we refer here to as 5G optical transport networks, should be able to provide rapid and on-demand provisioning of high data rates in a flexible and efficient manner. In this talk, we will highlight the current trends and identify the main requirements for planning and implementation of high-capacity and flexible 5G optical transport networks.
