The convergence of fiber and wireless systems based on millimiter-wave (mmWave) bands
seems to be a promising fronthaul solution for the fifth generation (5G) centralized radio …

In this paper, we present the benefits, limitations, architectures, and milestones of the radio-
over-fiber (RoF) network for application in the fronthaul of next-generation 5G mobile …

This paper presents an experimental demonstration of analog radio-over-fiber (ARoF)
fronthaul for high-bandwidth, high-capacity millimeter wave (mm-wave) extended fifth …

The most radical evolution in recent mobile communication technology is imminent in the
coming years. The fronthaul network architecture is part of this evolution and is expected to …

We introduce Centralized (C-RAN) architectures combined with analog optical transport
