Method and system for compensating for latency difference due to switchover in fronthaul in ring topology form

摘要

A system for compensating for a latency difference in a fronthaul in ring topology is provided, including a centralization node linked to a BBU group, a plurality of distribution nodes linked to a plurality of RRH groups, an optical bi-directional ring network connecting the central node and the distribution nodes and allows a WDM optical signal to be transmitted and received between the central node and the distribution nodes, and a FIFO buffer that stores an electrical signal. Each of the distribution nodes demultiplexes the WDM optical signal, converts each demultiplexed optical signal into an electrical signal, stores the electrical signal in the FIFO buffer, converts the electrical signal stored in the FIFO buffer into an optical signal, and adjusts a size of the FIFO buffer, thus compensating for a difference between latencies before and after an occurrence of a switchover in the optical bi-directional ring network.
