There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: Fiber-Wireless Integration with Enhanced Adaptability for Next Generation Radio Access Networks
Committee:

Abstract: The objective of the proposed research is to design and experimentally verify advanced technologies to enhance the adaptability of fiber-wireless integration for next generation RANs. It is focused on the mobile fronthaul and consists of three parts. Firstly, a hybrid analog/digital radio-ove-fiber (RoF) transmission system is studied so that the network can accommodate both RoF formats. Secondly, techniques applied to digital RoF are investigated, aiming at being adaptable to various device impairments, including bandwidth limitations, laser phase noise and intensity noise. Thirdly, the adaptability to channel conditions is introduced in the cross-domain resource management in an analog RoF system, where resources in both optical and RF domains are allocated cooperatively.
