Multi-Band OFDM Networking Concepts
In: Conference on telecommunications (EuroCon 2011), Lisbon, Portugal, pages 1 - 4.
In this paper, we present a novel networking technique
based on optical Multi-Band Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (MB-OFDM). We highlight the interesting
features of the solution with respect to existing ones
(fully opaque optical networks and transparent networks)
for optical metro and core networks. We show that under
certain traffic condition MB-OFDM may offer useful
flexibility in the context of increasing wavelength bit
rates.
