Mobile front-/back-haul delivery in elastic metro/access networks with sliceable transceivers based on OFDM transmission and direct detection

A transparent and dynamic delivery of mobile front-/back-haul for converged metro/access elastic networking is experimentally demonstrated employing sliceable bandwidth/bitrate variable transceivers based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing and direct detection. Testbed experiments show successful transmission after 60 km and up to 100 Gb/s data rate.
