摘要: The evolution of broadband access networks toward bimodal fiber-wireless (FiWi) networks, described in this book, may be viewed as the endgame access. After discussing economic impact and current worldwide deployment statistics, all major legacy wireline wireless technologies are reviewed. State-of-the-art GPON EPON fiber described, including their migration to next-generation systems such OCDMA OFDMA PONs. latest developments covered, VHT WLAN, Gigabit WiMAX, LTE WMN. advantages FiWi demonstrated by applying powerful network coding, heterogeneous optical protection, hierarchical frame aggregation, hybrid routing QoS continuity techniques across optical-wireless interface. book is an essential reference for anyone working on or converged systems. "The area central path but presents significant challenges, particular integrating disparate This provides a cogent highly useful exposition main FiWi, not only traditional techniques, also very recent coding. tool both engineers researchers entering from optics domains." - Prof. Muriel Mdard, Massachusetts Institute Technology
