Chapter 2: Literature Review

2.1 Introduction

Chapter 1 has outlined how millimetre-wave (mm-wave) fibre-radio systems are developed to meet the future bandwidth requirements for broadband wireless access (BWA) in ‘last mile’ communication A generic architecture of mm-wave fibre-radio network is shown in Fig 1.3 In these networks multiple remote antenna base stations (BSs), suitable for untethered connectivity for the BWA services, are directly interconnected to a central office (CO) via an optical fibre feeder network [1-4] Due

to the high propagation losses of mm-wave signals, the radio coverage of these BSs shrink to microcells and picocells, which implies the need for a large number of antenna BSs to cover a certain geographical area [4-12] Therefore, the BS architecture has to be simplified and cost effective, whereas, the fibre feeder network has to be able to support the large number of BSs required to service a certain geographical area This chapter presents a comprehensive review of the research in mm-wave fibre radio systems and the associated technologies, providing a motivation for the topics covered in the rest of the thesis

Section 2.2 presents a comprehensive review of the research towards the simplification of BS architectures The literature on spectrally efficient fibre feeder networks that support a large number of BSs required to service a certain geographical area is reviewed in Section 2.3 Also, the literature involving the

network impairments in wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM mm-wave radio networks and the modulation depth enhancement of mm-wave fibre-radio links are summarised in Sections 2.4 and 2.5 respectively The literature towards the realisation of an integrated optical access network incorporating mm-wave fibre-radio systems are reviewed in Section 2.6

fibre-2.2 Base Station Architecture

As mentioned earlier, the successful deployment of mm-wave fibre-radio systems

is largely dependent on the development of simple, compact, light-weight and cost BS The possible strategy to realise such a BS is a highly centralised CO along with less-equipped BSs, in which optical as well as mm-wave components and equipment are expected to be shared with a large number of BSs [13] The centralised network arrangement allows to simplify the BSs to having transmitter and receiver with additional optoelectronic & electrooptic (O/E) interface to detect and transmit optical mm-wave signals [1,14] The introduction of WDM in fibre feeder network enable these systems to interconnect multiple BSs to the CO through a

single fibre (both in the star-tree and ring/bus network configuration), where each of the BSs will be needed an optical-add-drop-multiplexed (OADM) interface to add and drop the desired channels to and from the feeder network [15-17] Fig 2.1 shows the generic BS architecture consisting of 3 integrated interfaces: the OADM interface adds and drops the desired channels to and from the feeder network; O/E interface, consisted of optical modulator, photodetector (PD) and uplink light-source, converts signals from optical-to-electrical and electrical-to-optical form; and radio-frequency (rf) interface, consisted of mm-wave radio-frequency (RF) signal processing circuits, diplexer and radiating antenna, does the required conditioning/modification on the

RF signals and before sending it to the next hop Among these 3 interfaces, the complexity of the rf interface is largely dependent on the data transport schemes that distributes the radio signal over fibre from the CO to the BSs, where by optimum selection of the data transport scheme, the complexity of the BSs can be greatly reduced The following section reviews the complexity of the BSs based on the data transport schemes currently proposed for the implementation of mm-wave fibre-radio systems

2.2.1 Data Transport Schemes

There are three possible data transportation methods, which have been considered

in distributing the radio signals over fibre from the CO to the BSs with their relative merits and demerits [18-20] These methods can be termed as baseband(BB)-over-fibre, intermediate frequency (IF)-over-fibre, and RF-over-fibre

In baseband-over-fibre scheme, signal will be transported over fibre as optically modulated BB signal and will be up/down converted at the BS, by which additional signal management in the optical domain can be avoided This scheme enables the use of matured, proven and industry driven digital and microwave technologies; in addition to minimum chromatic dispersion effect on the delivery of sub-Gb/s data stream over fibre [21-26], which enables distribution of mm-wave signal over longer distances without regeneration Also, this scheme has the potential to merge mm-wave fibre-radio systems to the internet protocol (IP) based gigabit ethernet (GbE), asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) etc access technologies, by which an integrated

Chapter 2: Literature Review

optical access network can be easily realised [27-28] However, those benefits are offered at the expense of a complicated BS architecture, as additional hardware and signal processing circuits are required at the BS to process the received and transmitted radio signals Fig 2.2 shows the generic BS architecture that enables BB-over-fibre transport scheme for mm-wave fibre-radio systems As shown in the Fig 2.2, the radio signal in the rf interface needs to pass through multistage up/down conversion and multiple radio channel enabling multiplexing and demultiplexing devices, in addition to the RF signal conditioning circuits, diplexer and radiating antenna, which make the BS complex, bulky and expensive In addition to the system complexity, the requirement of up and down conversion devices decreases the systems’ flexibility in reconfiguring the channel assignment scheme by centralised control and monitoring, since each of the remotely located local oscillators (LOs) in the BSs needs to be detuned separately [14, 21-24]

fibre-radio system: the rf interface contains multistage up/down conversion as well as multiple radio channel enabling hardware, in addition to RF signal conditioning circuits, diplexer and

In IF-over-fibre scheme, signal will be transported over fibre at IF and will be up/down converted to/from mm-wave signal at the BS This scheme also provides similar advantages of using matured, proven and industry driven digital and

microwave technologies; while experiences lower chromatic dispersion effect on the delivery of sub-Gb/s data stream over fibre [29-30] Similar to BB-over-fibre scheme, those benefits also can be realised at the expense of a complicated BS architecture, as additional components and equipment, such as LO and mixer are needed at the BS to up/down convert the radio signals before it is radiated by the antenna or converted to optical signal by O/E interface The generic architecture of the BS in IF-over-fibre transport scheme can be seen from Fig 2.3 Like before, due

to having LOs and mixers, this scheme also is not flexible for centralised control and monitoring [1, 14, 31-32] However, this scheme is suitable for implementing multiple channel transmission by using subcarrier multiplexing (SCM), where different radio channels can be superimposed onto different subcarrier frequencies before the combined signal is modulated by an optical carrier and is transported over fibre [6, 15, 33-37] Moreover, the remote delivery of LO from the CO can eliminate the physical LO from the BS, by which the benefits of centralised network arrangement can be realised [38-44]
