Abstract

A reduced-complexity CO-OFDM transceiver is proposed and investigated for enabling elastic functionalities in the existing core network infrastructure. The transceiver scheme is based on a constant envelope optical OFDM and is capable to operate with polarization multiplexing. The system performance is evaluated and a potential deployment within the Telefónica I+D national network model is further investigated by means of numerical simulations.
