Radio over fiber for picocellular network architectures

Picocellular network designs at lower frequencies up to 6 GHz are compared to implementations at 60 GHz. System design aspects are discussed, including the implementation of MIMO. Very high bit rates of >10 Gb/s are achieved in mm-wave OFDM RoF systems.
