Results in brief
Flexible Edge Nodes for Dynamic Optical Interconnection of Access and Core Networks
This report summarizes the results of the project FENDOI. Please notice, that the project has been terminated premature, due to the researcher left DTU effectively 28/08/2016. Please alto notice, that the person in charge of the research has also left DTU. Therefore, this report has been compiled by Head of Department, Lars-Ulrik Aaen Andersen based on the published results and the mid-term report. The target research within the FENDOI project was: 1) Definition of an architecture for a converged access/metro/core network supporting heterogeneous access technologies and new optical transport networks in the core. 2) Definition, requirements and specifications for a converged edge node Most of the goals have been achieved in the project, but e.g. introducing the signal spectral slicing technology that enables transmission of high bandwith signals (large data amounts) from the service provider to the end user. The methods have been verified and characterised in different configurations - most of it in close collaboration with leading industrial partners.

Project objective
Research and standardization efforts during the past years have been intensified towards extending the scope of access networking to cover larger geographical areas and numbers of users. The main driver has been the reduction of CAPEX/OPEX costs by enabling consolidation of current Local Offices to a much reduced number of Central Offices. This paradigm blurs the hitherto defined boundaries between the access and the metro segments – the central offices become effectively Edge Nodes, required to handle significantly increased amount of user traffic.The goal of this project is to define novel, resilient, cost- and energy-efficient architectures achieving efficient access-core interconnection and convergence among heterogeneous access technologies, services and applications. At the end of this project, we would have proposed and validated concepts to achieve ultra high data rates (up to 100Gbps per wavelength), enhanced resource utilization and flexible bandwidth allocation at sub-wavelength granularities.The timely generated knowledge in this project will contribute to extend the-state-of-the-art and enhance European research excellence and competitiveness in developing future communication networks.
