An apparatus for transmitting a control signal in a radio-over-fiber (RoF)-based mobile fronthaul includes: a data channel transmitter configured to generate a data signal at a preassigned frequency or wavelength; a control channel transmitter configured to generate a control signal at a designated frequency or wavelength that is shared with other apparatuses; and a combiner configured to combine the data signal with the control signal.
Abstract:
An optical fiber link monitoring apparatus for detecting a failure in an optical fiber link by analyzing a trace of a received signal that has been transmitted to and reflected from said optical fiber link. The optical fiber link monitoring apparatus includes a variable gain amplifier (VGA), an analog/digital converter (ADC), and a controller. The VGA amplifies a gain of the received signal, for which the ADC converts the gain-amplified signal into a digital signal. The controller then analyzes a digital signal trace and adjusts the gain of the VGA according to the analysis result.

A method of supporting in-band Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) in a Multi-Protocol Label Switching-Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) network is provided. The method may include generating a merged OAM packet by merging a plurality of OAM packets received from a plurality of leaf nodes, and transmitting the merged OAM packet to a root node through a Label-Switched Path (LSP).
Abstract:
In a wireless optical communication system in which communication is performed based on a free space and a plurality of the communication apparatuses are arranged in a ring form around a central office terminal (COT), the communication apparatus monitors optical signals received in a first direction or in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and selects a first path through which the optical signals in the first direction are received and a second path through which the optical signals in the second direction are received. The communication apparatus converts an optical signal having a predetermined unique wavelength from among the optical signals received through the selected path into a signal of a frequency domain having a plurality of subcarriers, and obtains packet data mapped to each of the subcarriers.

The RFoF transmission method to be performed by a head end includes combining a radio frequency (RF) carrier signal and a data signal having a lower frequency band than the RF carrier signal through an RF coupler, modulating the combined RF carrier signal and the combined data signal using a frequency response characteristic of a DML, and outputting an optical signal in which, of RF carrier signals and data signals being generated in a laterally symmetrical form based on an optical carrier frequency through the modulating, an RF carrier signal is suppressed.
Abstract:
A host unit is provided between a remote radio head and a radio unit. The host unit performs a conversion between a digital optical signal used by the remote radio head and an analog optical signal used by the radio unit. A frequency of the analog optical signal converted by the host unit may be an intermediate frequency. The radio unit performs a conversion between an analog optical signal used by the host unit and an analog radio signal used by a user terminal. A frequency of the analog radio signal may be included in a millimeter wave band or radio frequency band.
