Abstract
With the rapid deployment of optical access networks and the growing
availability of mature and cost-effective opto-electronic system
technologies, a unified optical feeder network could provide seamless
integration of both broadband optical and wireless access networks.
Radio-over-fiber transmission has been studied extensively as a way of
achieving such high levels of network integration as well as simplifying
wireless base-stations. Digitized radio-over-fiber has recently been
reported as a possible cost-effective pathway for achieving this by taking
advantage of parallel developments in electronic sampling systems and signal
processing. In this paper, we present a review of recent progress in key
systems and network technologies that can support the distribution of
multi-band wireless signals in a converged optical wireless access
network.
