The Analysis of Service Convergence in an Optical Access Network

In recent years, the increasing number of internet-connected devices has exceeded the capacity of fourth-generation (4G) cellular networks, leading to the development of fifth-generation (5G) technology, designed to offer higher speeds, greater bandwidth, and lower latency. In this context, this stu...

description In recent years, the increasing number of internet-connected devices has exceeded the capacity of fourth-generation (4G) cellular networks, leading to the development of fifth-generation (5G) technology, designed to offer higher speeds, greater bandwidth, and lower latency. In this context, this study evaluated Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier (UFMC) and Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM) techniques, implementing them in a radio-over-fiber (RoF) system and a Next-Generation Radio Access Network (NG-RAN) fronthaul link, and compared the results using communication quality metrics such as bit error rate (BER). Additionally, through signal generation and processing in Matlab, the performance of UFMC and LTE signals was analyzed, confirming that simultaneous transmission over an RoF channel allows for efficient signal separation in the frequency domain, with the UFMC giving power to LTE.
