The power consumption performance of the network is evaluated in terms of the total network power consumption based on the proposed power consumption models from the physical layer. The results illustrate that for a given power consumption value, the tradeoff among the number of Remote Access Units (RAUs), the number of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antennas and the number of hops must be taken into account. In order to efficiently reduce the total network power consumption, we also proposed a solution from the MAC layer using a sleep-aware MAC protocol, which can dynamically centralized control MIMO antennas to operate in a sleep mode. The proposed enabling technologies provide basis for selecting suitable RoF DAS based WSN and effectively reduce the power consumption.展开更多

The future city is envisaged to encompass a large-scale network with diverse applications and a massive number of interconnected heterogeneous wireless-enabled devices. Hence, green technology elements are crucial to design sustainable and future-proof network architectures. They are the solutions for spectrum scarcity, high latency, interference, energy efficiency, and scalability that occur in dense and heterogeneous wireless networks especially in the home area network （HAN）. Radio-over-fiber （ROF） is a technology candidate to provide a global view of HAN＇s activities that can be leveraged to allocate orthogonal channel communications for enabling wireless-enabled HAN devices transmission, with considering the clustered-frequency-reuse approach. Our proposed network architecture design is mainly focused on enhancing the network throughput and reducing the average network communications latency by proposing a data aggregation unit （DAU）. The performance shows that with the DAU, the average network communications latency reduces significantly while the network throughput is enhanced, compared with the existing ROF architecture without the DAU.展开更多

We present a novel approach using dual-wavelength lights to suppress the nonlinear intermodulation distortion in intensity-modulated RoF link both theoretically and experimentally. The system we proposed rminly consists of two Laser Diodes （LDs） at different wavelengths, a commercial available Mach-Zehnder Modulator （MZM） and a Photo Detector （PD）. More than 25 dB suppression of the Third-order Interrnodulation Distortion （IMD3） is achieved by adjusting the wavelength and opti- cal power of the laser. Besides, the output of the MZM is then sent to the photodetector via a single fiber, which simplifies the system complexity for distrbution of RF signals over long distances.展开更多
