Abstract-Even though 60 GHz frequency band has limited coverage, due to high available bandwidth worldwide (unlicensed, approximately 5 GHz between 57-62 GHz), it is obviously the candidate for future broadband wireless networks for the last mile. Radio over Fiber (RoF) technology combining the two worlds -fiber optic and broadband wireless -can help in extending broadband wireless networks in indoor environment. To provide high data rate support the RoF system also requires new MAC standards. The main challenge for designers of such networks is the additional delay introduced by the optical distribution network. This paper investigates the feasibility of applying the MAC protocol IEEE 802.15.3c in Radio over Fiber system at 60 GHz. Mainly various ACK mechanisms in the IEEE 802.15.3c are analysed when it is used in conjunction with RoF network. The analytical results show that the effect of fiber optic network causes a slight drop in throughput and still could easily be applied. Modelling of a RoF system with IEEE 802.15.3c and numerical results thereof are the salient features of this article.

“…For other popular mobile or wireless standards such as WIMAX, LTE etc., the tolerance to the inserted fiber propagation delay is found to be much greater than with the 802.11 protocol when they are employed in RoF-DAS systems [11][12][13][14]. These mobile systems are designed for greater wireless distances, and hence tolerate some delay variation, but also employ MAC protocols which are somewhat more centralized, at least after some initial contention procedure for users to gain access.…”

Improved IEEE 802.11 point coordination function considering fiber-delay difference in distributed antenna systems

Abstract-In this paper, we present an improved IEEE 802.11 wireless local-area network (WLAN) medium access control (MAC) mechanism for simulcast radio-over-fiber-based distributed antenna systems where multiple remote antenna units (RAUs) are connected to one access point (AP). In the improved mechanism, the fiber delay between RAUs and central unit is taken into account in a modification to the conventional point coordination function (PCF) that achieves coordination by a centralized algorithm. Simulation results show that the improved PCF outperforms the distributed coordination function (DCF) in both the basic-access and request/clear-to-send modes in terms of the total throughput and the fairness among RAUs.
