Experimental Demonstration of A-RoF SDN for Radio Access Sharing Applications

We experimentally assess a radio access A-RoF mobile interface with carrier-aggregated data-plane and intermediate frequency transposed Ethernet control-plane. We also demonstrate software-based management of two classes of services associated to different PHY layer parameters.
