[en] In radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems, optical fiber links are used to distribute radio frequency signals from an access point to remote antenna units. The transmission of 802.11 signals through a RoF architecture enables to extend the potential of 802.11 networks (coverage extension, power reduction, ...). In such systems, the optical part introduces an extra propagation delay and modifies the operation of the mechanisms defined at the medium access control (MAC) layer. As a result, the upper layer protocols, such as TCP, will be also affected by the RoF architecture. This paper therefore investigates the TCP performance in IEEE 802.11g RoF networks.
