This book is a tool both for working engineers and for researchers entering the FiWi area from the optics or from the wireless domains.'' - Prof. This book provides a cogent and highly useful exposition of the main technologies in FiWi, including not only traditional techniques, but also very recent developments such as network coding. ''The area of FiWi networks is central to the current evolution path of networks but presents significant challenges, in particular in integrating disparate systems. The book is an essential reference for anyone working on optical fiber access networks, wireless access networks or converged FiWi systems. The advantages of FiWi access networks are demonstrated by applying powerful network coding, heterogeneous optical and wireless protection, hierarchical frame aggregation, hybrid routing and QoS continuity techniques across the optical-wireless interface. The latest developments of wireless access networks are covered, including VHT WLAN, Gigabit WiMAX, LTE and WMN. The evolution of broadband access networks toward bimodal fiber-wireless (FiWi) access networks, described in this book, may be viewed as the endgame of broadband access.
