Abstract

An end-to-end transmission of coexisting multistandard radio (LTE, WiMAX, and UWB) signals is demonstrated for the first time with the transmission over a combined access and in-home networks consisting of 25-km SSMF, 25-m large-core diameter polymethylmethacrylate graded-index plastic optical fiber link and 1-m wireless. The residential gateway includes O-E-O conversion to connect the access and in-home parts of the networks. This letter demonstrates a fully integrated radio signal distribution scenario from the central station to the end-user personal area networks.
