| Acronym: PHOTON |
| Main Objective: The overall goal is to research, validate and demonstrate RoF as a key technology for dense wireless networks, with proposals for efficient and scalable architectures and enhanced wireless transmission / resource management techniques exploiting the distributed nature of the environment provided by the infrastructure. Specific objectives include: • Research innovative capacity enhancement solutions which will specifically address microscopic and macroscopic diversity concepts using MIMO, intra-system dynamic resource allocation adopting a cross-layer design and interference cancellation • Develop an hybrid (optical- wireless) simulation tool to evaluate the impact of RoF on legacy and future networks. • Implement a prototype including the electro-optic interfaces, remote access units and antenna structures • Develop realistic system level photonic models • Design system interface solutions to evaluate the impact of smart antennas and photonic models on legacy and future networks • Photon Demonstration and optimization resulting in a set of design guidelines |
