Abstract :
We investigate the capacity limitations of a WDM ring fiber-radio backbone, incorporating wavelength interleaving, where each base station drives a sectorized antenna interface. We also investigate the optimum allocations for the interleaved channels to efficiently drive the sectorized antenna interface that overcomes one of the capacity limitations for such a network.
