Channel allocation in dense wavelength division multiplexing radio-over-fiber networks

In this paper we address the problem of the Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) network design. In particular, we focus on a DWDM RoF network for which we formulate a maximal service RoF channel allocation (MSCA) problem. Although MSCA is a difficult problem, still it can be resolved for the network instances of some hundred of access points and users.
