Abstract
5G networks have arrived and are able to shift paradigms within the areas of connectivity, maintainability, scalability and availability. Their aim is to ensure that users can remain online with their devices at any time and in any place. In light of this, solutions for centralized networks are becoming attractive since they are manageable and low-cost. In these conditions, the use of computing techniques such as fuzzy logic benefits the supervision and planning of networks by optimizing and controlling resources as well as managing the system. However, planning a centralized network tends to raise challenges in the optical sectors that are located between the telecommunications center and the base station. Technologies such as radio over fiber are being examined to meet the demands in the fronthaul market, although they raise many other challenges. For this reason, in this study, we have adopted an intelligent strategy to determine in a balanced way which radio over fiber signals should be allocated in the optical sector. This strategy is implemented using fuzzy logic and may be used in decision making to plan the future of centralized networks. The results show that it is possible to make tradeoffs between the capital expenditure and performance of the system.
