This letter unfolds a digital predistortion (DPD) technique that improves the linearity of limited range mobile front haul links for the contemporary long-term evolution (LTE) and future (5G) networks. In particular, the proposed technique is applied to radio-over-fiber links based on single-mode (SM) vertical cavity surface emitting lasers emitting at 850 nm and standard SM fibers. Both the memory and generalized memory polynomial models are exploited for the predistorter and identified by utilizing indirect learning architecture. The impact of the DPD technique is observed by the link performance improvement in terms of normalized mean square error and adjacent channel power ratio, referring to complete LTE frames of 10 ms occupying 5-MHz bandwidth and having 64-quadrature amplitude modulation format. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the DPD approach, when varying input power levels, is investigated. The experimental results demonstrate the capability of the proposed DPD technique to achieve promising linearization performance.

Abstract

This letter unfolds a digital predistortion (DPD) technique that improves the linearity of limited range mobile front haul links for the contemporary long-term evolution (LTE) and future (5G) networks. In particular, the proposed technique is applied to radio-over-fiber links based on single-mode (SM) vertical cavity surface emitting lasers emitting at 850 nm and standard SM fibers. Both the memory and generalized memory polynomial models are exploited for the predistorter and identified by utilizing indirect learning architecture. The impact of the DPD technique is observed by the link performance improvement in terms of normalized mean square error and adjacent channel power ratio, referring to complete LTE frames of 10 ms occupying 5-MHz bandwidth and having 64-quadrature amplitude modulation format. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the DPD approach, when varying input power levels, is investigated. The experimental results demonstrate the capability of the proposed DPD technique to achieve promising linearization performance.
