A comprehensive evaluation of Fi-Wi, enabling readersto design links using channel estimation and equalizationalgorithms This book provides a detailed study of radio over fiber (ROF)based wireless communication systems, otherwise called fiberwireless (Fi-Wi) systems. This is an emerging hot topic where theabundant bandwidth of optical fiber is directly combined with theflexibility and mobility of wireless networks to provide broadbandconnectivity. Its application is increasing because of thegrowing demand for broadband wireless services. In such a systemthe transmission of the radio signals over a fiber is an importanttask. This book provides substantial material on the radio overfiber part of the complete fiber-wireless system, including newresearch results on the compensation methods. The early chapters provide fundamental knowledge required for anon-expert engineering professional as well as senior/graduatelevel students to learn this topic from scratch. The latter part ofthe book covers advanced topics useful for researchers and seniorstudents. Therefore, this book provides a comprehensiveunderstanding of the system for readers who will gain enoughknowledge to design Fi-Wi links of their own by learning how todevelop Fi-Wi channel estimation and equalization algorithms. Thisconcept is completely novel in current literature and has beenpatented by the author. Readers are expected to have a basic understanding of fiberoptics and wireless communications to easily follow the book and toappreciate the concepts. Basics of the Fi-Wi system and signalprocessing approaches are clearly explained. It covers amultidisciplinary topic and acts as a bridge between optical andwireless communication domains. In the increasingly demandingtelecommunications profession, engineers are expected to haveknowledge in both optical and wireless communications and expecteddesign combined/hybrid systems. Hence, the book is written in sucha way that both optical and wireless professionals will be able toeasily understand and perceive the concepts. follows a logical process from basic principles through toadvanced topics, providing a wide range of interest forresearchers, practicing engineers, students, and those required tobuild such networks explains detailed system design concepts and the limitationsand advantages in each configuration, appealing to designengineers, and largely avoiding system specifics demonstrates the author’s exclusive patent, showing howto develop baseband signal processing algorithms for Fi-Wi systems,which is a key requirement for the successful deployment of Fi-Wisystems contains tables, numerical examples and case studies,facilitating a good quantitative understanding of the topic

Optical and wireless technologies are being introduced into the global communications infrastructure at an astonishing pace. Both are revolutionizing the industry and will undoubtedly dominate its future, yet in the crowded curricula in most electrical engineering programs, there is no room in typical data communications courses for proper coverage of these "next generation" technologies. Optical and Wireless Communications: Next Generation Networks covers both types of networks in a unique presentation designed for a one-semester course for senior undergraduate or graduate engineering students. Part I: Optical Networks covers optical fibers, transmitters, receivers, multiplexers, amplifiers, and specific networks, including FDDI, SONET, fiber channel, and wavelength-routed networks. Part II:Wireless Networks examines fundamental concepts and specific wireless networks, such as LAN, ATM, wireless local loop, and wireless PBXs. This section also explores cellular technologies and satellite communications. Eventually, next generation networks will be as ubiquitous as traditional telephone networks, and today's engineering students must be prepared to meet the challenges of optical and wireless systems development and deployment. Filled with illustrations, examples, and end-of-chapter problems, Optical and Wireless Communications: Next Generation Networks provides a brief but comprehensive introduction to these technologies that will help future engineers build the foundation they need for success.

The mobile market has experienced unprecedented growth over the last few decades. Consumer trends have shifted towards mobile internet services supported by 3G and 4G networks worldwide. Inherent to existing networks are problems such as lack of spectrum, high energy consumption, and inter-cell interference. These limitations have led to the emergence of 5G technology. It is clear that any 5G system will integrate optical communications, which is already a mainstay of wide area networks. Using an optical core to route 5G data raises significant questions of how wireless and optical can coexist in synergy to provide smooth, end-to-end communication pathways. Optical and Wireless Convergence for 5G Networks explores new emerging technologies, concepts, and approaches for seamlessly integrating optical-wireless for 5G and beyond. Considering both fronthaul and backhaul perspectives, this timely book provides insights on managing an ecosystem of mixed and multiple access network communications focused on optical-wireless convergence. Topics include Fiber–Wireless (FiWi), Hybrid Fiber-Wireless (HFW), Visible Light Communication (VLC), 5G optical sensing technologies, approaches to real-time IoT applications, Tactile Internet, Fog Computing (FC), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and many others. This book aims to provide an inclusive survey of 5G optical-wireless requirements, architecture developments, and technological solutions.

Taking a coherent and logical approach, this book describes the potential use of co-ordinated multipoint systems supported by radio over fiber. It covers an impressive breadth of topics, ranging from components, subsystem and system architecture, to network management and business perspectives. The authors show the importance of radio over fiber in eliminating or mitigating against the current, perceived barriers to the use of co-ordinated multipoint, and the drivers for standardisation activities in future mobile/wireless systems over the next few years. The book brings together the system concept for centralized processing, including what is required for co-existence with legacy wireless systems, the algorithms that can be used for improving wireless bandwidth utilization at physical and MAC layers and the radio over fiber network and link design necessary to support the wireless system. Other important research is also covered as the authors look at compensating for radio over fiber impairments and providing simple network management functions. A study of service provision and the business case for such a future wireless system is also fully considered. This book comes at an important time for future wireless systems with standardization of fourth generation wireless systems still ongoing. The content enables readers to make key decisions about future standardisation and their own research work. The business analysis also makes the book useful to those involved in deciding the future directions of telecoms organisations. This information will be core to their decision-making as it provides technical knowledge of the state-of-the-art but also system level assessments of what is possible in a business environment.
