Hybrid Ring- and Tree-Topology RoF Transmission System with Disconnection Protection

This paper proposes a hybrid ring- and tree-topology radio over fiber (RoF) transmission system with self-disconnection protection that can support the high distribution density of base stations (BSs) in a metropolitan area and strengthen the network quality of service through self-disconnection pro...
