support both 5G fronthaul services and data services able to cope with the delay
requirements imposed by 5G fronthaul. The proposed DBA is different from the classical
DBA for NG-PON2 in terms of the number and the structure of the allocated time slots at
each upstream frame. Moreover, we investigate the number of active ONUs that can be
accommodated by our proposal and the provided throughput to data services in every ONU.
