description This paper presents the design of an optical transport architecture for the fronthaul segment in a 5G New Radio (NR) network based on both polarization and wavelength multiplexing using Polarization Splitters (PS) and an Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG), respectively. The proposed architecture is assessed by the transport of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) services, which allows the definition of different numerologies and service profiles; those are key aspects in the framework of 5G RN. The proposed design shows a flexible and scalable management of numerologies per polarized light component, featuring a suitable response in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) and Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) measurements for 15 kHz, 30 kHz, and 60kHz subcarrier spacing of an OFDM based on 4QAM modulation format.

Este artículo presenta el diseño de una arquitectura de transporte óptico para el segmento fronthaul en una red 5G New Radio (NR) basada en polarización y multiplexación de longitud de onda utilizando divisores de polarización (PS) y un arreglo de rejillas de guía de onda (AWG) respectivamente. La arquitectura propuesta se evalúa mediante el transporte de servicios en Multiplexación por División de Frecuencia Ortogonal (OFDM), que permite la definición de diferentes numerologías y perfiles de servicio; esos son aspectos clave en el marco de 5G RN. El diseño propuesto muestra una gestión flexible y escalable de numerologías por componente de luz polarizada, presentando una respuesta adecuada en términos de tasa de error de bit (BER) y mediciones de magnitud de vector de error (EVM) para espaciados de subportadora de 15kHz, 30kHz y 60kHz de un OFDM basado en formato de modulación 4QAM.
