“…For P2MP topologies, the CapEx per room initially decreases as the sharing factor of the common network parts increases, but for larger room numbers it increases again as the average cable and duct length start to dominate [8]. Hence for a small building (such as a residential home) a P2P architecture is attractive, also given its simplicity and easy upgradability.…”

“…Next to the transmission aspects, a important aspect is the economics, as there is heavy competition from copper-based solutions such as the popular Cat-5E networks. In previous work [8][9][10], it was shown that POF solutions can be already today cost-competitive with Cat-5E regarding installation costs (CapEx -Capital Expenditure). In this paper we extend this work by taking operational costs (OpEx -Operational Expenditure) into account.…”

Gaston Crommenlaan 8, 9050 Gent, Belgium * a.m.j.koonen@tue.nl Abstract: Optical fiber-based in-building network solutions can outperform in the near future copper-and radio-based solutions both regarding performance and costs. POF solutions are maturing, and can already today be cheaper than Cat-5e solutions when ducts are shared with electricity power cabling. We compare the CapEx and OpEx of in-building networks for fiber and Cat-5E solutions. For residential homes, our analysis shows that total network costs during economic lifetime are lowest for a point-topoint duplex POF topology.

“…for IP packet routing). The details of our analysis method have been reported in [2] . We have analysed three typical building scenarios: a residential home (single family house, with 3 floors and 4 rooms per floor), office building (10 floors, 50 office rooms per floor), and a multi-dwelling units (MDU) building (apartment building, with 10 floors and 16 living units (LUs) per floor).…”

For in-building communication, a powerful backbone network can be created by means of optical fibre, which in a single infrastructure can offer a wealth of both fixed and wireless service connections to the users. Next to the technological challenges, important aspects to be taken into account are the economics of network installation and operation, and sustainability. An overview is given of recent research results regarding the optimization of network architectures, and regarding advanced signal processing for economical and sustainable delivery of high-capacity wired and wireless services over various types of multimode (plastic) optical fibre.

“…On the other hand, the polymer optical fibre, such as poly (methyl methacrylate) and perfluorinated graded index polymer optical fibre (PF-GI-POF) are preferred to be used in-building networks due to the fact that it is less brittle and more flexible compared to the silica based fibres. Moreover, this type of fibres are associated with the ease of installation (i.e., ease "do-it-yourself" installation scenario) and low maintenance cost, due to its large core diameter [3]- [4]. As the capacity and coverage are the main concerns in the recent mobile communications, a relay node (RN) can be used for further coverage extension.…”

In this paper, we propose a new scheme for the integration between the outdoor and indoor 4G long term evolution networks employing the radio-over free space optics technology for the rural environments applications to reduce the deployment cost. We experimentally characterise the system performance under the atmospheric fading effects including thick fog and a moderate turbulence regime considering 8% error-vectormagnitude as the figure of merit. Keywords: long-term evolution (LTE), radio-over-fibre (RoF), radio-over free space optics (RoFSO), polymer optical fibre, free space optics (FSO).
