“…3) Centralised signal processing at the BS and the ability of the BS to serve a number of RAPs that have a simple architecture, as shown in Fig. 2, makes a cellular system relying on numerous small cells economically feasible [24]. Furthermore, better bandwidth/channel allocation using dynamic algorithms as well as technology and hardware upgrades can be readily implemented, when using centralised signal processing at the BS [25].…”

Abstract-A study of advanced upconversion techniques used in radio over fiber (ROF) is provided. With the huge increase in both the number of wireless communication subscribers and the bandwidth required per customer, migrating to higher frequencies, i.e., from lower radio frequency to millimeter-wave carriers, is an essential solution. However, due to the short propagation range of millimeter waves, a large number of radio access points are required for providing reliable coverage, which would increase the infrastructure costs. Hence, the transmission of RF signals between the central (or control) points and radio access points (or remote antenna units) using optical fibers is one of the major access network solutions that have been proposed for future high-bandwidth wireless communication systems. In this paper, we introduce the basics of ROF communication, including optical modulation, the optical channel, and the optical detection techniques. Then we survey the family of advanced optical upconversion techniques that exploit the nonlinearity of the ROF link. Specifically, we describe how optical upconversion can be achieved by exploiting the Mach-Zehnder modulator's nonlinearity, wavelength conversion techniques, or the photodetector's nonlinearity. The wavelength conversion techniques rely on the nonlinearities present in the fiber, in the optical amplifier, or in the electroabsorption modulator.

“…Economically viable small cells: In a ROF system, each BS serves a number of RAPs as shown in Fig. 2(b), where centralised signal processing takes place at the BS, while the RAPs have a low cost, hence reducing the cost of setting up a cellular system that employs small cells [11]. This is one of the major aims of the architectures and techniques discussed in Sections II and VI of this paper.…”

Abstract-Advanced cost reduction and performance improvement techniques conceived for Radio Over Fiber (ROF) communications are considered. ROF techniques are expected to form the backbone of the future 5G generation of wireless networks. The achievable link performance and the associated deployement cost constitute the most salient metrics of a ROF architecture. In this paper, we commence by providing a rudimentary overview of the ROF architecture and then elaborate on ROF techniques designed for improving the attainable system performance. We conclude by describing the ROF techniques conceived for reducing the ROF system installation costs.
