The upcoming generation of mobile networks is expected to serve numerous mobile users with high quality-of-service (QoS) demands, requiring high-capacity fronthaul. As the provision of fiber connections directly to the end users is not cost-efficient, the integrated fiber wireless (FiWi) fronthaul design based on wireless networking and passive optical networks (PONs) has been proposed. The FiWi design involves modern networking technologies that can accommodate the need for data rates in the Gb/s scale and low delay, such as the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) in the optical domain and the multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication over millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum in the wireless domain. The co-existence of two network types requires resource management in a medium transparent manner, i.e., the sharing of the bandwidth in the wireless domain should allow the organization of the data packets in optical frames. As the traffic circulating in the FiWi fronthaul involves packets of different priorities, i.e., different QoS classes, the resource management scheme should support QoS differentiation. To this end, we propose a resource management scheme for FiWi fronthaul and we extensively study its performance in terms of experienced delay and throughput. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly reduces the delay of the high priority class. |
