Next Generation Wireless Communications Using Radio Over Fiber

Taking a coherent and logical approach, this book describes the potential use of coordinated 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 against the current, perceived barriers to the use of coordinated multipoint, and the drivers for standardization activities in future mobile/wireless systems over the next few years. The content enables readers to make key decisions about future standardization and their own research work.
