RAPID
Radio technologies for 5G using Advanced Photonic Infrastructure for Dense user environmentsRAPID
In RAPID, a centralized radio access network architecture (C-RAN) shall be used, which is able to distribute heterogeneous radio signals (3G, 4G, 60 GHz) with high transmission channel capacity over the fiber optic network at low cost. To meet the requirements for the transport of these high-frequency radio signals, a novel coherent fiber-radio architecture (CRoF) will be used in RAPID. Among other things, extremely low-cost (< 10 €) integrated receiver components based on SiGe are being developed for the mobile receiver.
