Journal ArticleDOI
High-Capacity 5G Fronthaul Networks Based on Optical Space Division Multiplexing
Simon Rommel,Diego Perez-Galacho,Josep M. Fabrega,Raul Munoz,Salvador Sales,Idelfonso Tafur Monroy +5 more
TL;DR: The introduction of SDM with multi-core fibers in the fronthaul network as suggested by the blueSPACE project is discussed, regarding both digitized and analog radio-over-fiber fr onthaul transport as well as the introduction of optical beamforming for high-capacity millimeter-wave radio access.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a Scaleable 5G Fronthaul: Analog Radio-over-Fiber and Space Division Multiplexing
Simon Rommel,Delphin Dodane,Evangelos Grivas,Bruno Cimoli,Jérôme Bourderionnet,Gilles Feugnet,Alvaro Morales,Evangelos Pikasis,Chris G. H. Roeloffzen,Paul van Dijk,Michail Katsikis,Konstantinos Ntontin,Dimitrios Kritharidis,Izabela Spaleniak,Paul Mitchell,Mykhaylo Dubov,Juliana Barros Carvalho,Idelfonso Tafur Monroy +17 more
TL;DR: The use of analog radio-over-fiber (ARoF) is proposed and demonstrated as a viable alternative which, combined with space division multiplexing in the optical distribution network as well as photonic integration of the required transceivers, shows a path to a scaleable fronthaul solution for 5G.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Data Center Connectivity by 6G Wireless Systems
TL;DR: This work presents how data centers could benefit from 6G technologies, particularly in assuring flexibility and adaptability, without compromising scalability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-step digital backpropagation for nonlinearity mitigation
TL;DR: The results indicate that the proposed algorithm enables a practical and effective implementation of DBP in real-time optical receivers, with only a moderate increase in the computational complexity, power consumption, and latency with respect to a simple feed-forward equalizer for bulk dispersion compensation.
Journal ArticleDOI
5G RAN architecture based on analog radio-over-fiber fronthaul over UDWDM-PON and phased array fed reflector antennas
Dimitrios Konstantinou,Thomas A. H. Bressner,Simon Rommel,Ulf Johannsen,Martin Johansson,Marianna Ivashina,A. Bart Smolders,Idelfonso Tafur Monroy +7 more
TL;DR: This manuscript introduces a 5G radio access network architecture concept based on ultra-dense wavelength division multiplexing (UDWDM) and incorporating an optical fronthaul network that uses a novel wireless antenna system for radio frequency transmission and reception.
