Abstract

Ultrawideband (UWB) signals have low allowable transmission powers. To enhance the coverage and capacity of UWB signals, a cost-efficient solution for the access network has been proposed and simulated. The access network is based on gamma–gamma free-space optical channel model, which is employed between the central unit and the four different carrier-free radio access units (RAUs). All-optical generation and transmission of UWB signals at a rate of 1.5 Gbps to each RAU are demonstrated. Bit error rate results are obtained to observe the performance of the UWB signals received at the mobile stations. The proposed architecture requires minimum deployment cost and gives acceptable bit error rate results.
