Impact of Fiber Nonlinearity on 5G Backhauling via Mixed FSO/Fiber Network
Abstract
The inherently high bandwidth of fiber and free-space optical (FSO) links make them ideally suited to provide broadband backhaul in fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks. However, both fiber and FSO systems suffer from a variety of impairments, which must be properly modeled in order to design the network. In this paper, we present analytical results for mixed FSO/fiber amplify-and-forward backhauling systems, where the impacts of …
