Dang, B.L. (author), Venkatesha Prasad, R. (author), Niemegeers, I. (author)Radio over Fiber (RoF) techniques have been long recognized as the promising solution for indoor networking at millimeter-wave bands. We discuss the possible deployment scenarios of an RoF network for indoor environment. In this paper, we try to find the answer to the question as to which Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is suitable for an...journal article 2006
