The objective of this thesis is to study the possible optical fronthauling techniques and demonstrate an efficient scheme for the transmission of 4G and proposed 5G waveforms in the optical domain. Performance of the fronthauling techniques - DBBoF, AIFoF and DIFoF is first investigated through simulations for transmission of OFDM signals. The meri...

For checking spectral containment of 5G waveforms, UF-OFDM and GFDM, multiple signals of 201 MHz bandwidth were transmitted, similar to LTE, through fronthaul net- work and performance is compared with OFDM. UF-OFDM and OFDM exhibit similar performance for single band transmission at 1.5 GHz, as seen from EVM of Fig. 11, as UF- OFDM's lower OOB emission property does not have any bearing on system performance. Spectral guard-band of 20 MHz, equal to 10% of the bandwidth, is chosen between 5G signal bands for multi-band transmission of all three waveforms. As the guard-band between 5G waveforms decreases, the performance improvement due to reduced OOB ...

Received signal spectra for 10 bands of GFDM is shown in 13a and 13b shows the spectrum and EVM for LTE and UF-OFDM bands in the above mentioned coexistence scenario. UF-OFDM's signal bands can be successfully de- modulated for P rx ≥ -16 dBm similar to what was observed from the results of 5 band transmission of 5G waveform. ...

Les travaux de standardisation entrepris dans le cadre de la mise en place des réseaux mobiles de 5éme génération se focalisent aussi bien sur le développement d’un réseau cœur capable de répondre aux objectifs fixés par la communauté industrielle et scientifique que sur la définition d’une architecture de l’infrastructure d’accès permettant de dépasser les limitations des réseaux existants et qui prend en compte les spécificités des services radiofréquence attendus sur le réseau. Le réseau d’accès 5G est conçu autour d’une architecture distribuée qui prévoit le déport de certaines fonctionnalités du réseau cœur vers les stations de base qui deviennent de plus en plus intelligentes et autonomes. Ces futures stations de base offrent la possibilité de repartir les fonctionnalités radio sur plusieurs entités pour une meilleure flexibilité du déploiement. La liaison avec ces entités distantes peut se faire à l’aide d’une multitude de technologies de transmissions d’où le caractère hétérogène du réseau d’accès 5G. L’objectif de cette thèse est l’étude des performances de la technologie radio-sur-fibre pour la transmission de formes d’onde 5G sur la liaison entre stations de base et ses unités distantes qui se fournissent la couverture radio des utilisateurs mobiles. A l’aide d’une modélisation par circuit électrique des composants de la liaison, une caractérisation analogique de la liaison a été réalisée pour évaluer les performances analogiques du système et déterminer ainsi les paramètres qui influent sur ces performances. L’accent est mis sur l’architecture radio-sur-fibre à modulation de phase et détection interférométrique qui offre des avantages très attractifs pour l’application envisagée. Pour une évaluation de bout en bout de l’architecture proposée, une étude expérimentale appuyée par des simulations de la qualité de la liaison est ensuite menée par transmission de formes d’onde retenues pour le standard sur les liens radio-sur-fibre montant et descendants qui forment le système. Cette évaluation a permis de déterminer les plages de fonctionnement optimal du système liées au choix des composants et aux paramètres de transmission
