Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-1990-1656 Radio over fiber: An alternative broadband network technology for Iot 2020 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Wireless broadband access networks have been positioning themselves as a good solution for manufacturers and users of IoT (internet of things) devices, due mainly to the high data transfer rate required over terminal devices without restriction of information format. In this work, a review of two Radio over Fiber strategies is presented. Both have excellent performance and even offer the possibility to extend wireless area coverage where mobile networks do not reach or the 802.11 network presents issues. Radio Frequency over Fiber (RFoF) and intermediate Frequency over Fiber (IFoF) are two transmission strategies compatible with the required new broadband services and both play a key role in the design of the next generation integrated optical–wireless networks, such as 5G and Satcom networks, including on RAU (Remote Antenna Unit) new functionalities to improve their physical dimensions, employing a microelectronic layout over nanometric technologies. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PRE2018-083578 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/TEC2017-85867-R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 2.397 2020 COMPUTER SCIENCE, INFORMATION SYSTEMS 93 / 162 = 0.574 2020 Q3 T2 PHYSICS, APPLIED 88 / 160 = 0.55 2020 Q3 T2 ENGINEERING, ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC 145 / 273 = 0.531 2020 Q3 T2 0.36 2020 Computer Networks and Communications 2020 Q2 Control and Systems Engineering 2020 Q2 Signal Processing 2020 Q2 Hardware and Architecture 2020 Q2 Electrical and Electronic Engineering 2020 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Royo, G.
