UFMC and LTE Convergence Test in Optical Access Network

An convergence optical access network with UFMC and LTE signal was tested. UFMC was transmited at baseband and LTE in paseband at 1.5 GHz. In order to recover the UFMC signal properly, LTE RF Tx power was optimized. Receiver sensitivities of -30 dBm for UFMC and -31 dBm for LTE was achieved. Consequently, until 64 user could be served at convergence optical network of radio over fiber.
