Integration of Hybrid Fibre Radio and IEEE 802.11 WLAN network Kenneth K L. Ho and J. E. Mitchell Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering Unive
ity College London Abstract: By using hybrid fibre radio (HFR), a method in integrating wireless and optical networks, large part of the radio complexity can be tra
ferred to a central office deeper in the network. This paper presents a novel approach in deploying IEEE 802.11 wireless local access network (WLAN) through integration with HFR. We will discuss its applicatio
, a brief review of the individual technologies, and investigate the networking issues involve to make such integration feasible. 1. Introduction The advantages of using analogue optical networks for delivering radio signals from a central location to many remote antenna sites have long been an area of researched [1]. By making use of
