Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new scheme for the integration between the outdoor and indoor 4G long term evolution networks employing the radio-over free space optics technology for the rural environments applications to reduce the deployment cost. We experimentally characterise the system performance under the atmospheric fading effects including thick fog and a moderate turbulence regime considering 8% error-vector-magnitude as the figure of merit.
