TL;DR
This paper experimentally verifies that an analog radio-over-FSO link at 9 μm meets 5G/NR specifications, demonstrating its potential as a fronthaul solution for 6G distributed MIMO networks.
Contribution
It provides experimental validation of LWIR FSO links' compliance with 5G/NR standards, supporting their use in 6G fronthaul infrastructure.
Findings
ACLR and EVM requirements are fulfilled
LWIR FSO is suitable for 6G fronthaul
Experimental validation of 5G compliance
Abstract
We experimentally test the compliance with 5G/NR 3GPP technical specifications of an analog radio-over-FSO link at 9 {\mu}m. The ACLR and EVM transmitter requirements are fulfilled validating the suitability of LWIR FSO for 6G fronthaul.
