Abstract: Convergence of optical and wireless networks is a promising development for future access network architecture. A Radio over Fiber (ROF)-based network that converges Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) technologies makes it possible to simultaneously transmit EPON baseband signals and WiMAX wireless Radio Frequency (RF) signals. This article elaborates on uplink and downlink transmission, redundancy protection, and roaming features of such a network.
