Experimental Demonstration of “PON + Embedded-Hardware-Switch” for Low-Latency Communication in Dual-Stage 5G Fronthaul Network Architecture

We demonstrated a “PON + embedded-hardware-switch” system to accelerate data transmission in 5G fronthaul within the 8.5 μs total processing latency. The switch processing rate ranges from 15.63Mpps to 2.64Mpps when packet length ranges from 64Bytes to 1518Bytes.
