“…Optical communications, both wired [33] (along with advanced multiple access schemes, e.g. OFDM [34]) and wireless, FSO [35] and VLC [36], as well as other solutions such as small cells [37]) can be used to improve data rates and help traffic off-loading and thus should be explored in future systems. High reliability, of almost equivalent importance with a high data rate, is also a key requirement for 5G networking especially due to the heterogeneous nature of 5G networks.…”

As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. and social aspects that will affect the deployment and the rate of adoption of 5G networks by the general public. In this paper, a roadmapping activity identifying the key technological and socio-economic issues is performed, so as to help ensure a smooth transition from the legacy to future 5G networks. Based on the fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, a survey of pairwise comparisons has been conducted within the CHARISMA project by 5G technology and deployment experts, with several critical aspects identified and prioritized. The conclusions drawn are expected to be a valuable tool for decision and policy makers as well as for stakeholders. Assessment

“…Optical wireless communications are commonly proposed in the visible [134], [135] and infrared [136], [137] spectrum. Within the electromagnetic spectrum, the radio spectrum covers the range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz while the visible and infrared optical region covers the spectrum from 200 THz up to 790 THz.…”

Recently, the desired very high throughput of 5G wireless networks drives millimeter-wave (mm-wave) communication into practical applications. A phased array technique is required to increase the effective antenna aperture at mm-wave frequency. Integrated solutions of beamforming/beam steering are extremely attractive for practical implementations. After a discussion on the basic principles of radio beam steering, we review and explore the recent advanced integration techniques of silicon-based electronic integrated circuits (EICs), photonic integrated circuits (PICs), and antenna-on-chip (AoC). For EIC, the latest advanced designs of on-chip true time delay (TTD) are explored. Even with such advances, the fundamental loss of a silicon-based EIC still exists, which can be solved by advanced PIC solutions with ultra-broad bandwidth and low loss. Advanced PIC designs for mm-wave beam steering are then reviewed with emphasis on an optical TTD. Different from the mature silicon-based EIC, the photonic integration technology for PIC is still under development. In this paper, we review and explore the potential photonic integration platforms and discuss how a monolithic integration based on photonic membranes fits the photonic mm-wave beam steering application, especially for the ease of EIC and PIC integration on a single chip. To combine EIC, for its accurate and mature fabrication techniques, with PIC, for its ultra-broad bandwidth and low loss, a hierarchical mm-wave beam steering chip with large-array Manuscript delays realized in PIC and sub-array delays realized in EIC can be a future-proof solution. Moreover, the antenna units can be further integrated on such a chip using AoC techniques. Among the mentioned techniques, the integration trends on device and system levels are discussed extensively.Index Terms-5G, millimeter-wave, beam steering, true-timedelay, phase shifter, antenna-on-chip, photonic radio beam steering, broadband beamforming, phase control units. 0018-9197

“…At 20 m link distance, a gross rate of 465 Mbit/s is reached with the 500 Mbit/s chipset. The data rate is reduced to 280 and 120 Mbit/s in clear weather conditions, which is related to a negative link margin of roughly -5 and -8 dB opt at 50 and 100 m link distance, respectively 5 .…”

Optical Wireless LED Link for the Backhaul of Small Cells

Abstract: We demonstrate experimentally that optical wireless (OW) links using an infrared LED can meet the bitrate, distance and latency requirements for low-cost small-cell wireless backhaul in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) mobile networks.
