Abstract
The advantages of fiberoptics has gained widespread interest in the cellular service provisioning industry as a possible means of antenna remoting. In this scenario, the rf processing is done at one central location and the antenna equipment is remoted, via fiber, to the cell location. This reduces the size of the remote equipment and thus represents a cost savings in real estate expenditure. With parallel advances in system components, this also allows the use of such capacity improving schemes as dynamic channel allocation and more efficient use of the plant and frequency spectrum.
