    Large-scale testing and evaluation of network solutions are complex and typically involve multiple domains (e.g., optical, wireless, and cloud). The FUTEBOL project has deployed geographically distributed testbeds in Brazil and Europe that enable the experimentation and validation of new cross-domain network solutions. In this article, we introduce a Control Framework that allows experimenters to slice, reserve, and orchestrate optical, wireless, and cloud resources in a coordinated manner. We illustrate the features of our Control Framework and evaluate it through an experiment involving resource orchestration and automatic service scaling across multiple domains.

    When optical networks meet wireless systems: experiments at the boundary

    One of the most important announced assets of the forthcoming 5G network is the capability to merge different technologies in an overarching much more effective telecommunication system. At the verge of 5G deployment, it’s therefore key to have the right means to test and pre-develop the integration of two main pillars of 5G, i.e. wireless and optical systems. The target of this paper is to discuss some interesting aspects of performing experiments at the wirelessoptical boundary, focusing on the activities of the EU-Brazil funded research project FUTEBOL.
