研究目的

Investigating the necessity and role of optical fiber as a transport medium in the evolution of in-building wireless networks, especially for 5G radio access networks operating at millimeter wave frequencies.

研究成果

Optical fiber is increasingly essential for 5G high-bandwidth, high-density deployments, especially in mmWave spectrum regions. Future advancements may require different types of optical fibers and supporting network infrastructure to meet throughput and latency demands.

研究不足

The paper does not detail specific experimental limitations but implies that the adoption of optical fiber in 5G RAN is contingent on overcoming challenges related to high-density deployments, latency, and the need for advanced optical network infrastructure.
