5G-XHaul: 5G-PPP Fase 1. H2020

Small Cells, Cloud-Radio Access Networks (C-RAN), Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NVF) are key enablers to address the demand for broadband connectivity with low cost and flexible implementations. Small Cells, in conjunction with C-RAN, SDN, NVF pose very stringent requirements on the transport network. Here flexible wireless solutions are required for dynamic backhaul and fronthaul architectures alongside very high capacity optical inter-connects. 5G-XHaul proposes a converged optical and wireless network solution able to flexibly connect Small Cells to the core network. 5G, Networks
