Abstract

In view of the current prospects in wired and wireless access networks, it is becoming increasingly important to address potential convergence issues between both types of access networks. Therefore, this paper analyzes compatibility aspects of supporting radio signals over a passive optical infrastructure, which must be accounted for to enable the coexistence of fixed and radio access systems over a common fiber plant.
