Abstract

Current wireless communication systems are intended primarily for narrow band voice transmissions and have little flexibility to be scaled up. There is a need to develop new wireless network technologies, which can support broadband integrated services, dynamic resource allocation, and provide system capacity growth gracefully as the number of users increases. In this work, we demonstrate a high-bandwidth, reconfigurable wireless communication system based on the WDM and TDMA techniques. The modulated signals transparently pass through fibers and base stations (BS) to the mobile users leaving all signal processing and complexity to the MSC. The system is transparent to mixed traffic such as AMPS, GSM, and CDMA. The proposed WDM backbone network has a tree structure as shown in Fig.
