Integrated Wireless-Optical Backhaul and Fronthaul Provision Through Multicore Fiber

In this paper we propose multicore fiber (MCF) as the medium to transport the different signals associated with various wireless applications (ranging from access to fronthauling and backhauling) from the baseband unit (BBU) to the cell-site. Using 1 km of a 7-core MCF, we simultaneously transmit fr...
