Abstract
Heterogeneous access networks with wired/wireless convergence comprise an important trend in the development of access networks because they reduce network investment and operating costs. In this paper, we propose a heterogeneous access network with a coherent passive optical network (PON) and intermediate frequency over fiber (IFoF) within a single wavelength. The coherent PON and IFoF are both DAPSK-OFDM-based and do not involve noise-compensation digital signal processing (DSP), which lowers bandwidth efficiency. DAPSK-OFDM is a differential modulation scheme that eliminates channel and phase noise during the demodulation process. The coherent PON and IFoF with different transmission schemes are combined using polarization division multiplexing (PDM) and a complete heterogeneous network without crosstalk through polarization optimization and maintenance at a transmission distance less than 20 km. The proposed heterogeneous network is experimentally tested, which shows that its performance is similar to that yielded when operating each system independently.
