TL;DR: A comprehensive tutorial on technologies, requirements, architectures, challenges, and potential solutions on means of achieving an efficient C-RAN optical fronthaul for the next-generation network such as the fifth generation network and beyond is presented.

TL;DR: The proposed configuration has the capability to support different applications, services, and multiple operators over a shared optical fiber infrastructure and employs advanced modulation format and digital signal processing techniques in the offline and realtime mode of the operation.

TL;DR: This paper presents multiuser mixed radio-frequency/free-space optical (RF/FSO) relay networks as feasible technologies for the alleviation of the stringent requirements in the CC-RANs and uses the end-to-end (e2e) outage probability, average symbol error probability (ASEP), and ergodic channel capacity as the performance metrics.

TL;DR: Experimental results on channel characterization of single input single output (SISO) free-space optical (FSO) communication link that is based on channel measurements are presented and a closed-form expression for determining ergodic channel capacity of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) FSO communication systems over atmospheric turbulence fading channels is proposed.

TL;DR: Simulation results on bit error rate (BER) performance of M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M - QAM) considering the average received irradiance and effects of different parameters such as constellation size, wavelength and the refractive index are analyzed on system performance for different operating conditions.
