隨著行動裝置數量的持續增加,以及生活中對網路的要求越來越高,在下一代行動網路中數據量比起4G預期有10倍以上的提升,但是在提升數據量的同時,也要考慮系統設置的成本效益。我們提出一個降低接收端系統複雜度的光纖整合無線通訊網路架構,以正交分頻多工(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM)提升訊號的頻譜效益,再搭配偏振態多工進一步擴增系統資料容量。基於實驗室的研究成果,提出以光學濾波器實現解偏振多工,省去偏振態追蹤或複雜的訊號處理的來降低RAU的系統復雜度,使得此系統有機會應用於下個世代的行動網路。實驗中建構了OFDM搭配PDM的光載中頻訊號並以光學直接偵測的架構接收,並在有限的頻寬中增加系統服務與調整調變格式來增加資料傳輸量。實驗中量測經過25公里單模光纖後訊號的解調情形以及傳送28 GHz無線訊號後的訊號表現。透過比較PDM訊號的接收表現與僅傳送單偏振訊號的情況,搭配各種傳輸距離下的功率敏感度,驗證了此PDM-OFDM光纖無線整合的可行性。
Due to the increasing numbers of mobile equipment and highly demand of mobile network services, high data rate is an important issue in next generation mobile communication. It is expected to be more than 10 times comparing to 4G. However, construction cost should be considered when raising data rate of system. We proposed a fiber-wireless integration with relatively simple Remote Access Unit (RAU) design. By utilizing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Polarization Division Multiplexing (PDM), spectral efficiency is increased and data capacity is doubled. Based on previous research, an optical filter is applied to immune signal to signal beating interference (SSBI) issue in direct detection scheme. We further utilize this optical filter to extract the signal from each polarization. Therefore, low cost RAU is achieved without polarization tracking and complicated digital signal processing. With this design, our system would be a promising solution for 5G mobile communication. To prove the concept with experiment, we setup an intermediate frequency over fiber PDM-OFDM with direct detection. Within the limited transmission bandwidth, we choose the proper modulation format and compactly arrange the band service to further enhance data capacity. Signal performance is measured after transmitting through 25km standard single mode fiber (SMF) and several wireless distance. We compare the performance of single polarization and PDM signal, supporting with power sensitivity for different transmission distance. Results suggest that proposed scheme could possibly be used in next generation mobile communication.
