Wired/wireless converged mac adaptor and method of transmitting frame using wired/wireless converged mac adaptor

A wired/wireless converged media access control (MAC) adaptor comprising:

• an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) interface to receive an OFDM frame from an optical OFDM modem;
• a frame conversion unit to convert the OFDM frame into a MAC frame corresponding to a wired or wireless service;
• and
• a service network interface (SNI) to output the converted MAC frame corresponding to the wired or wireless service, or common public radio interface (CPRI) data.

A method of transmitting a frame using a wired/wireless converged media access control (MAC) adaptor, the method comprising:

• transmitting a MAC frame corresponding to a wired or wireless service, or common public radio interface (CPRI) data;
• converting, into an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) frame, a wired/wireless converged MAC frame comprising a common frame structure of the MAC frame corresponding to the wired or wireless service or the CPRI data;
• and
• transmitting the OFDM frame to an optical OFDM modem by dynamically allocating sub-carriers based on data transmission characteristics.
