FIVER project proposes and develops a novel integrated access network architecture employing only OFDM signals for the provision of quintuple-play services (Internet, phone/voice, HDTV, wireless WiMAX, UWB and LTE femtocell and home security/control). FIVER architecture is completely integrated: The optical access FTTH, the in-home optical distribution network and the final radio link become part of the access. This permits a streamlined network architecture avoiding most of the conversion stages and proving cost, space and energy savings. FIVER is a fully OFDM-based network. This permits a cost-effective, fully centralised network architecture where the transmission impairments (both optical and radio) compensation and network management is done only at the Central Office. No further compensation, regeneration or format conversion is required along the network giving the streamlined network architecture capable of handling future services of interest. FIVER services are fully converged: Both OFDM data (Gigabit-Ethernet provision) and standard wireless (WiMAX, UWB, LTE and DVB-T) signals are transmitted in radio-over-fibre through the FTTH, the inbuilding optical infrastructure and also the final user radio link. The use of full-standard wireless signals for optical and radio transmission gives two advantages: Fully standard receiver equipment can be used by the customer, and no ad hoc detection, remodulation or frequency conversion is required. All the transmission compensation algorithms, electro-optical subsystems and network management are developed by FIVER consortium. FIVER architecture is future-proof. The project demonstrates HDTV service provision in the 60 GHz radio band at the last stage. Other wireless services operation in other bands can be included in the FIVER network architecture as long as they are OFDM-based. This is due to the powerful transmission impairment compensation algorithms developed in the project. FIVER-ENLARGED EU initiative brings legacy TDT support as a converged service based on transmitting DVB-T signals through FIVER optical access infrastructure. DVB-T employs coded-OFDM modulation and benefits from the compensation algorithms developed in FIVER permitting optical distribution meeting the range and capacity targets of the project. Optical access and in-home coaxial cabling are effectively integrated in FIVER-ENLARGED EU. DVB-T signals are transmitted in coexistence with the OFDM, LTE, WiMAX and UWB signals accelerating the market introductions of FIVER quintuple-play architecture. Finally, power delivery is considered in FIVER-ENLARGED EU over the coaxial cabling in-home distribution. In this way the equipment required at user premises is greatly simplified.
