Redes ópticas de acceso convergente

Abstract

The constant evolution of telecommunications services is driving the design, development and deployment of new network concepts in the long distance, metropolitan and access segments. Precisely in the latter, the access segment, evolutionary trends have been identified towards the expansion of installed capacity in the field and new standards are being defined in order to guarantee interoperability and interconnection. In this context, one of the pillars of this evolution in future access networks lies in the ability to transport traffic from fixed and mobile environments, and in particular, in the case of mobile traffic, carry out said transport in a transparent manner in its original carriers. This book presents two aspects of high relevance for the development of converged access optical networks, especially the generation of convergent signals for the transmission process and the filtering of said signals for the reception process. For each case, implementation proposals are presented and their scope is discussed.
