Ladies and gentelment, Im Hoang from Post and

Telecommunication Institute of Technology. Today I on behalf of my
research team present to you about our reasearch: Performance
Analysis of Gigabit-capable Mobile Backhaul Networks Exploiting
TWDM-PON and FSO Technologies.
In this short 15 minutes, I will introduce to you the introduction,
related works, our proposal, performance analysis, numerical results
and our conclution.
Fistly, there is NG-PON roadmap by FSAN. FSAN divide NGPON evolution into NG-PON1 and NG-PON2. NG-PON1 is a midterm upgrade, which is compatible with legacy GPON ODNs. NGPON2 is a long-term solution in PON evolution that can be deployed
over new ODNs, independent of GPON standards.
Among optical access technologies, TWDM-PON is chosen
solution for implementing the NG-PON2 that has been standardized by
ITU-T since 2013. TWDM-PON is short of Time and Wavelength
Division Multiplexed Passive Optical Network. It consists of multiple
XG-PONs stacked onto a common optical distribution network (ODN)
employing different wavelengths.
TWDM-PON enables moving fiber from being a bandwidth
booster to a value generator. TWDM-PON combines the benefits of
both TDM-PON and WDM- PON.
Optical fiber links with high data rates, reliability and low loss
are the most suitable solution to meet the requirements of next
generation mobile backhaul networks. But as you can see in this
picture, in housing areas or tower buildings, optical fiber links have
many connectivity barriers like time-consuming, high costs, license
obligations, physical barriers and environmental impact.
In this situation, FSO is an attractive alternative which provides
flexibility and quick deployment.
For some other situations like after large disasters, some
environmentally sensitive area, FSO is also shown its effectiveness
TWDM-PON and FSO have its own advantages but if
implemented separately, they will expose their limitations: With optical
fiber, the problem is flexibility limitation and high installation cost
when FSO have limitation of link range
The TWDM/FSO-hybrid network takes advantages of both FSO
transmission and NG-PON2 technologies, it also overcomes the
limitations of both TWDM-PON and FSO

These studies only consider the factors

affecting the performance of each system separately
Our target is an all-optical backhaul network that combines
TWDM-PON and FSO technologies to provide gigabit-bandwidth
connections for future mobile networks so our proposal considering
various physical layer impairments of both optical fiber and free-space
links
The wireless (FSO) link distance (LFSO)
The splitting ratio of TWDM-PON (Ns)
The amplifier gain (G)
The data rate (Rb)
For the sake of simplicity, we estimate the performance of the
system as a TWDM-PON and FSO cascaded system. Bit error rate
(BER) of the system can be calculated as. You can find more details of
the calculations of BERTWDM and BERFSO in our papper
This figure shows the performance comparison between the
FSO/TWDM-PON hybrid backhaul system and the corresponding
TWDM-PON (NG-PON2). When the transmitting power is increased,
BER of the TWDM-PON system is reduced rapidly while the BER
reduction of the hybrid system is slower.
Performance and reliability of TWDM-PON system are
degraded significantly and strongly depend on the link distance due to
the distance-dependent atmospheric turbulence and channel loss.
And the next is the dependence of the system performance on
the total link distance (L).

The maximum total distance relies on the required BER and the
given transmitting power. Moreover, to obtain the total distance of 40
km at the BER of 10-9, the transmitting power must be greater than 4
dBm.
Here is impact of the FSO link distance.
The system performance strongly depends on the FSO link
distance. BERs are increased rapidly for all the given transmitter
powers when the FSO link distance is increased.
We next investigate the dependence of the system performance
on the amplifier gain.
System capacity plays a key role to determine the system
performance. To improve the system performance, higher power can be
applied.
We investigated a flexible gigabit-capable mobile backhaul
network that is based on TWDM-PON (NG-PON2) and FSO
technologies.
We have firstly developed a mathematical model for the
downlink. We then theoretically and comprehensively analyzed the
network performance under various network parameters.
The numerical results demonstrared that: the combination
TWDM-PON and FSO can provide a flexible and gigabit-bandwidthcapable solution for next generation mobile backhaul networks
Thank you for your attention.
