TL;DR: In this article, the integration and experimental performance analysis of a GFDM-based 5G transceiver in a gigabit passive optical network (GPON), using radio over fiber technology, is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors experimentally evaluate two distinct hybrid architectures applied to 5G New Radio (NR) FiWi-Fi systems based on different optical fronthaul approaches, which operate in non-standalone (NSA) mode, defined by the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP), for simultaneously transmitting 4G and 5G technologies through an unique FiWi system.

TL;DR: Experimental results demonstrate 4.41 Gbit/s total throughput in the air in accordance to the 3GPP requirements, as well as an innovative low-latency M2M application based on PROFINET standard.

TL;DR: The proposed RF front-end applies optical frequency multiplication based on the external modulation technique and the optical nonlinear effect four-wave mixing for enabling a combination of photonic-assisted RF upconversion and amplification, regardless of frequency operation.

TL;DR: Experimental results demonstrate throughput up to 18 Gbit/s with error vector magnitude in accordance to the 3GPP Release 15 requirements, giving rise to a potential technological solution for increasing the system range, as well as reducing capital expenditure costs, footprint, weight and complexity.
