Performance of 5G waveform and multiple radio access technique over a fiber-wireless fronthaul

In this paper, we investigate the performance of OFDM and FBMC signals after being transmitted over a seamless fiber-wireless fronthaul system. We also examine the performance of OFDM signals using different multiple radio access techniques after being transmitted over the seamless system. We confirm that the fronthaul system has significant impacts on the performance of the signal waveforms and multiple access techniques. A cooperation between radio access and mobile transport networks should be considered to increase the operation efficiency and signal performance.
