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.
