N1 - Funding Information:
We studied the impact of programmable optical infrastructure on the survivability of a software-defined C-RAN in the context of a three-way, optical-radio-control dependency framework. Highly resilient operation with virtually no sensitivity to critical network elements could be achieved. The reconfiguration penalty in terms of added fronthaul latency was limited to a maximum value of 14.2% in the U.S. network and 19.5% in the pan-E.U. network.

N2 - We study the interplay of optical, wireless, and control domains in a software-defined C-RAN architecture in terms of survivability. Our analysis indicates the significant advantage of optical network programmability under a negligible fronthaul latency penalty.
