Abstract

Future radio access networks operating at millimeter-wave frequencies have the capacity to offer broadband interactive services to a customer base requiring untethered access. Optical fiber-feed networks incorporating wavelength division multiplexing have been proposed as a backbone network providing full-duplex interconnectivity between multiple remote antenna basestations and a central office implementing a variety of switching and routing functions. Rapid developments in both lightwave and microwave enabling technologies have fuelled an intense effort into the research and development of these networks. In this paper, we present a review of the progress of millimeter-wave fiber-radio networks in the areas of the associated enabling technologies, sub-systems and system demonstrations.

Pour la communication entre les stations de base distantes et le central disposant de diverses fonctions de commutation et de routage, on a proposé des réseaux de distribution en fibres optiques assurant une transmission duplex et mettant en ceuvre un multiplexage en longueur ďonde. Les évolutions rapides des techniques optiques et hyperfréquences è large bande ont donné un élan important è la recherche. Cette article passe en revue de récentes avancées en matière de réseaux ďaccès combinant fibres et ondes millimétriques. Il traite, en particulier, les aspects système et sous-système.
