Abstract

This article presents an extended version of the ECOC 2024 invited paper on future converged fixed/mobile access networks in the 6G era. First, we outline the expectations for 6G from the perspective of a European operator, and then explore the potential optical network solutions that will support the future evolution of mobile networks. We identify key factors such as enhanced connectivity, efficiency, and flexibility, which will be enabled by technologies including AI, edge computing, HS-PON/PtP, VHS-PON/PtP, all-photonic networks, extended CTI, Open RAN, and other emerging features.

期刊介绍： The scope of the Journal includes advances in the state-of-the-art of optical networking science, technology, and engineering. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, analyses, and economic studies) and practical contributions (including optical networking experiments, prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. Subareas of interest include the architecture and design of optical networks, optical network survivability and security, software-defined optical networking, elastic optical networks, data and control plane advances, network management related innovation, and optical access networks. Enabling technologies and their applications are suitable topics only if the results are shown to directly impact optical networking beyond simple point-to-point networks.
