本文提供了光纤-无线混合(FiWi)接入网络的最新调查，这些接入网络利用光纤和无线技术的各自优势，并将它们无缝融合。FiWi网络迅速成熟，并催生了新的功能强大的接入网络解决方案和范例。该调查首先概述了无线和光纤接入网络的技术现状、使能技术和未来发展，特别关注无线网状网络和光纤到户网络。在简要回顾了几种常见的EPON和WiMAX网络融合方法后，描述了最近提出的几种基于不同光网络拓扑和WiFi技术的FiWi体系结构。最后，确定了未来FiWi接入网络的实现和商业采用所面临的技术挑战。
This article provides an up-to-date survey of hybrid fiber-wireless (FiWi) access networks that leverage on the respective strengths of optical and wireless technologies and converge them seamlessly. FiWi networks become rapidly mature and give rise to new powerful access network solutions and paradigms. The survey first overviews the state of the art, enabling technologies and future developments of wireless and optical access networks, respectively, paying particular attention to wireless mesh networks and fiber to the home networks. After briefly reviewing some generic integration approaches of EPON and WiMAX networks, several recently proposed FiWi architectures based on different optical network topologies and WiFi technology are described. Finally, technological challenges toward the realization and commercial adoption of future FiWi access networks are identified.
