Next generation multi-service access gateway for Radio over Fiber wireless systems

Abstract

In this paper, we have presented a Next Generation multi-service access gateway (NG-MSAG) for Radio over Fiber (ROF) systems. The architecture of this NG-MSAG allows the convergence of fixed, wireless, voice and data services. This convergence will decrease the overall deployment and operational cost of telecom operators especially those operators which are new in the industry and interested in deploying nation-wide fixed and wireless networks. Transport layer is based on IP/DWDM, Radio layer on ROF and services core is based on NGN.
