Efficient Mobile Fronthaul Transmission of Multiple LTE-A Signals with 36.86-Gb/s CPRI-Equivalent Data Rate using a Directly-Modulated Laser and Fiber Dispersion Mitigation

摘要

We experimentally demonstrate the transmission of six 100-MHz-bandwidth LTE-A-like mobile signals with 36.86-Gb/s CPRI-equivalent data rate, simultaneously supporting 5-carrier aggregation, 2 × 2 MIMO and 3 sectors, over a 40-km SSMF fronthaul using a single 1550-nm directly-modulated laser with a novel dispersion-penalty-mitigation technique.
