High-speed metro and access networks are indispensable to provide broadband services, especially bandwidth-hungry services and future 5G mobile networks to end users. Advanced wireline and wireless network solutions with ultra-high capacity, low transmission delay, high energy efficiency, and low cost should be developed to support a wide range of applications and requirements in future mobile networks. A convergence of wireline and wireless networks should also be considered to simplify the network configuration, management, and to realize new features and functions. Advanced photonic-based transmission systems are thus of critical importance to facilitate future mobile and wireless communications. In addition, high-performance imaging would play an important role to enhance safety and security of public infrastructure including airports, railways, etc. High-resolution radars can be constructed using frequency in the millimeter-wave and terahertz-wave bands where wide radio frequency resource is available. To cover a wide coverage range, a combination of radio and optical technologies via radio-over-fiber technology would be very useful to distribute and collect radio-wave information. This tutorial will present technical challenges and enabling system/device technologies for future mobile transport networks, including mobile backhaul and fronthaul, and photonic-based millimeter-wave and terahertz-wave radar systems and related technologies for applications to public services, disaster recovery, etc.
Tutorial duration: 1.5 hours
