Abstract

Mobile wireless communication has seen tremendous growth over the years. The user experience with the communication systems has been improved through the progression of mobile generations. The fifth-generation (5G) cellular technology is similar to the fourth-generation long-term evolution (4G LTE) systems with advanced features. 5G networks impose stringent requirements on the fronthaul segment such as high data rates, large bandwidth, and low latency rates. The infrastructure requirements for the widespread deployment of the 5G networks are huge. It is beneficial to use the already existing fiber-based networks, which are widely deployed. The NGPON2 is the successor to the GPON and XG-PON networks. The infrastructure of the NGPON can be utilized for the coexisting 5G deployment. This concept can reduce the deployment cost as well as the time. The service providers are looking for fiber-based solutions for the 5G deployment. In this chapter, the various passive optical network technologies have been reviewed. After a thorough literature review, the design architecture of the NGPON-2 capable of supporting coexisting 5G fronthaul has been explained. The performance evaluation of the system is carried out, and acceptable BER levels justify the coexistence concept.
