Single-Ended In-Service Hybrid Monitoring of Fiber-Extended Copper Lines

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We report on the simultaneous monitoring of both fiber and copper links in the context of analog radio signal transmission over fiber-extended copper mobile fronthaul networks. The same monitoring signal is used to determine both the fiber’s and copper’s characteristics, which translates into a low-complexity monitoring structure readily embeddable in the transmitter. A copper-to-fiber converter unit is devised so that both monitoring and data signals can coexist even when the control is centralized at the central office. In-service fiber monitoring is achieved with a spatial resolution of 10 m and 7dB dynamic range, while in-service copper monitoring is achieved with a maximum reach of 100 m and an error in fault location smaller than 1 m. Low-cost centralized monitoring of hybrid networks represents a step toward the deployment of fiber-extended copper lines, which is a promising candidate for next-generation communication architectures.
