N2 - In 5th generation mobile communications systems (5G), the number of small cells with centralized-radio access network (C-RAN) architecture is expected to increase greatly. Time division multiplexing-passive optical networks (TDM-PON) are promising transmission systems for networks between a baseband unit (BBU) and a remote radio head (RRH). However, there is a challenge as regards the ultra-low latency requirements of 5G including less than 1 ms for end-to-end communication, because a TDM-PON generally transmits using time division multiple access (TDMA) as a basis. In this paper, we derive the achievable latency and the number of RRHs accommodable by TDM-PON, and analyze the applicable range of a TDM-PON for mobile use. Our analysis shows that it is possible to design a PON application in accordance with the latency requirements of mobile systems.
