Experiments on Cloud-RAN Wireless Handover using Optical Switching in a Dense Urban Testbed

We investigate dynamic network resource allocation using software-defined networking optical controller with software-defined radios on the COSMOS testbed. 10 Gb/s capacity, deterministic low latency are maintained through user equipment wireless handover via optical switching.
