We introduce the concept of a fiber aided wireless network architecture (FAWNA), which allows high-speed mobile connectivity by leveraging the speed of optical networks. As a first step towards designing such network architectures, we consider a single-input, single-output (SISO) wirelessoptical communication link. This link consists of a wireless channel and a fiber optic channel, connected to...

Analog optical fronthaul for 5G network architectures is currently being promoted as a bandwidthand energy-efficient technology that can sustain the data-rate, latency and energy requirements of the emerging 5G era. This paper deals with a new optical fronthaul architecture that can effectively synergize optical transceiver, optical add/drop multiplexer and optical beamforming integrated photon...

Indoor wireless communication is an essential part of next generation wireless communication system.For an indoor communication number of users and their device are increasing very rapidly so as a result capacity of frequency spectrum to accommodate further users in future is limited and also it would be difficult for service providers to provide more user reliable and high speed communication ...

Indoor optical wireless communication systems offer a huge potential to provide high speed data transmission for various indoor applications like in flight entertainment, video transmission and other multimedia services. These systems use LEDs as the source which can transmit and receive data by flashing light at a speed which is undetectable to the human eyes. In this paper we review the deplo...

This work describes the first use of a wireless paired emitter detector diode device (PEDD) as an optical sensor for water quality monitoring in a lab-on-a-disc device. The microfluidic platform, based on an ionogel sensing area combined with a low-cost optical sensor, is applied for quantitative pH and qualitative turbidity monitoring of water samples at point-of-need. The autonomous capabilit...

Free space optical (FSO) communication has emerged as a viable technology for broadband wireless applications which offers the potential of high bandwidth capacity over unlicensed optical wavelengths. The only essential requirement for an FSO system to work is that there is a free line of sight between the transmitter and receiver. A comparison of BER is also presented with the changing value o...

Pârvan Nr. 2, 300223 Timişoara, e-mail [email protected], [email protected] Abstract – In this paper we present a performance analysis for an optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) indoor wireless communication system. We described a method based on experimental measurements to obtain the impu...

The Optical Wireless Communications (OWC) systems are attractive to provide broadband services due to their inherent wide bandwidth, easy deployment and no license requirement. The idea to employ the atmosphere as transmission media arises from the invention of the laser Li-Fi or optical Wi-Fi would be the best optimum solution over Wi-Fi technology, Li-Fi technology was first described and fin...
