Antenna, spectrum and capacity trade-off for cloud-RAN Massive distributed MIMO over next generation PONs

We propose a cost-optimal antenna vs. spectrum resource allocation strategy for mobile 5G MD-MIMO over Next-Generation PONs. Comparing wavelength overlay and shared wavelength approaches, split-PHY leads to solutions with higher mobile capacity than fronthaul.
