Abstract

In order to face future network evolutions we proposed an all-optical access-metro network which allows the simultaneous support of fixed and mobile services, in a fully integrated approach. In this architecture user´s data can be transmitted according to two transmission modes: a circuit mode and a burst mode, in order to provide an all-optical end-to-end communication. In this paper we provide a description of the circuit mode and analyze the circuit dimensioning based on network simulations. Afterwards we propose an application case of the circuit mode for the delivery of triple play mobile services.
