Modeling of Mode Division Multiplexing for High-Capacity Ro-FSO Transmission

Abstract

The demand for ubiquitous connectivity, high data capacity, faster data speed, low latency, and reliable services increases day by day with the persistent growth of mobile users and new technologies. The stringent requirements for 5G heavily rely upon the interconnected backbone network. Thus, in order to achieve the requirements of 5G, fiber-wireless integration is inevitable. Radio-over-Free-Space-Optics (Ro-FSO) is a promising technology for future wireless networks. The capacity of the channel is increased by using Mode Division Multiplexing (MDM) which entails launching several propagation modes, each carrying different information into FSO channel and demultiplexing them at the other end to obtain a separate data stream from each. In this work, a hybrid Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Ro-FSO system for transmission of independent channels by Mode Division Multiplexing (MDM) was designed and analyzed.
