    摘要: A radio-over-fiber (RoF) wireless picocellular system adapted to form an array of substantially non-overlapping individual picocells by operating adjacent picocells at different frequencies is operated to form one or more combined picocells. The combined picocells are formed from two or more neighboring picocells by the central head-end station operating neighboring picocells at a common frequency. Communication between the central head-end station and a client device residing within a combined picocell is enhanced by the availability of two or more transponder antenna systems. Thus, enhanced communication techniques such as antenna diversity, phased-array antenna networks and multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) methods can be implemented to provide the system with enhanced performance capability. These techniques are preferably implemented at the central head-end station to avoid having to make substantial changes to the wireless picocellular system infrastructure.

    摘要: A radio-over-fiber (RoF) hybrid wired/wireless transponder is disclosed that is configured to provide both wireless and wired communication between a hybrid head-end and one or more client devices. The hybrid transponder includes optical-to-electrical (O/E) and electrical-to-optical (E/O) conversion capability and is configured to frequency multiplex/demultiplex electrical “wired” signals and electrical “wireless” signals. The electrical wireless signals are wirelessly communicated to the client device(s) via a multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system within a cellular coverage area. The electrical wired signals are communicated to the client device(s) via a wireline cable that plugs into a wireline cable port on the transponder. The hybrid RoF system includes a hybrid head-end capable of transmitting and receiving wired and wireless optical signals, and an optical fiber cable that is optically coupled to the hybrid head-end and to at least one hybrid transponder. Drop-down transponder configurations that allow for easy wired and wireless connectivity between the client device(s) to the transponder(s) are also disclosed.

    摘要: The centralized optical-fiber-based wireless picocellular system includes one or more service units at a central head-end station. The one or more service units are optically coupled to one or more transponders via respective one or more optical fiber RF communication links. The transponders are each adapted to provide within the associated picocell electromagnetic RF service signals from different service units, and receive electromagnetic RF service signals from any client device within the picocell. The service signal from the particular client device is sent over the optical fiber RF communication link back to one or more service units. The transponders are arranged along the length of one or more optical fiber cables, which can be distributed throughout a building infrastructure. This creates a picocellular coverage area that provides a number of different wireless services relative to the building infrastructure. The service units can generate the electrical service signals, pass such signals to and from one or more outside networks, and/or coordinate the delivery of the signals between client devices within the picocellular coverage area.

    摘要: The optical-fiber-based radio-frequency identification (RFID) system includes one or multiple RFID readers optically coupled to one or more transponders via respective one or more optical fiber RF communication links. The transponders are each adapted to receive electromagnetic RF tag signals from RFID tags within the associated picocell and transmit optical RF tag signals to the corresponding RFID reader over the corresponding optical fiber RF communication link. The RFID reader then converts the optical RF tag signals to electrical RFID tag signals, and extracts the RFID tag information from the RFID tag signals. The transponders can be arranged spaced apart along the length of one or more optical fiber cables made up of pairs of downlink and uplink optical fibers that constitute the optical fiber RF communication links.

    摘要: The wireless radio-frequency identification (RFID) picocellular system includes a central control station optically coupled to one or more electrical-optical (E-O) access point devices that generate the individual picocells. The central control station includes service units that provide conventional wireless cellular services, and further includes one or more RFID reader units. The E-O access point devices are adapted to receive electromagnetic RFID tag signals from RFID tags within the associated picocell and transmit optical RFID tag signals to the central control station, which converts the optical RFID tag signals to electrical RFID tag signals, which are then received by the one or more RFID reader units. The system allows for large numbers of RFID tags in the picocellular coverage area to be quickly read and the information stored. The relatively small size of picocells allows for high-precision locating and position tracking of items without the need for manually scanning RFID tags with an RFID reader.
