Abstract :
Enabling technologies for optical wireless broadband access networks have been explored and developed with respect to optical components, modules, transmission systems, and networks. In this paper, we review the most significant accomplishments reported during 2010 with emphasis on radio-over-fiber (RoF) technology that is critical for the deployment of optical wireless broadband access networks in the near future.
