Experimental Assessment of Real-time PDCP-RLC V-RAN Split Transmission with 20 Gbit/s PAM4 Optical Access

We experimentally demonstrate real-time, end-to-end transmission of 3GPPs option 2 functional split RAN interface with virtualized central units through up to 20km using a 20Gbit/s PAM4 link and 10GHz bandwidth optics.
