Abstract
This chapter first gives a brief introduction on the coordinated multi-point (CoMP) technologies and the backhaul requirements for enabling CoMP techniques in LTE-A. As fiber–wireless integration (also known as radio-over-fiber (RoF)) is introduced to next-generation mobile backhaul networks as a promising technology to meet the critical backhaul requirements, in this chapter, the CoMP backhaul architectures and BS/RAU configurations based on various RoF technologies are also presented.
