室内网络必须承载种类繁多的服务,例如在带宽、服务质量和可靠性方面有很大不同的需求。它们必须以低成本和低能耗同时支持有线反弹和无线连接。本文综述了室内网络光子解决方案的发展趋势和最新研究成果。它回顾了融合光纤室内网络的架构、经济性和技术,它们既经济又节能,并将它们与当前基于铜缆的解决方案进行了比较。特别关注大容量多模(塑料)光纤技术、光纤无线电技术、按需提供容量的技术以及光无线通信技术。概述了如何通过引入这些强大的技术和网络体系结构来满足日益增长的室内通信需求的发展前景。
Indoor networks have to carry a large variety of services, with widely differing needs regarding, e.g., bandwidth, quality of service, and reliability. They have to support both wirebound and wireless connectivity, at low costs and low energy consumption levels. This paper gives an overview of trends and recent research results in the area of photonic solutions for indoor networks. It reviews the architectures, economics, and techniques for converged optical fiber indoor networks, which are cost- and energy-efficient, and compares them with current copper-based solutions. Particular attention is given to high-capacity multimode (plastic) optical fiber techniques, radio-over-fiber techniques, techniques for providing capacity on demand, and optical wireless communication techniques. An evolution perspective is outlined how the growing indoor communication demands can be met by introducing these powerful techniques and network architectures.
