A centralized optical processing unit (COPU) that functions both as a wavelength converter (WC) and optical burst equaliser in a 10 Gb/s wavelength-converting optical access network is proposed and experimentally characterized. This COPU is designed to consolidate drifting wavelengths generated with an uncooled laser in the upstream direction into a stable wavelength channel for WDM backhaul transmission and to equalize the optical loud/soft burst power in order to relax the burst-mode receiver dynamic range requirement. The COPU consists of an optical power equaliser composed of two cascaded SOAs followed by a WC. Using an optical packet generator and a DC-coupled PIN-based digital burst-mode receiver, the COPU is characterized in terms of payload-BER for back-to-back and backhaul transmission distances of 22, 40, and 62 km. We show that there is a compromise between the receiver sensitivity and overload points that can be optimized tuning the WC operating point for a particular backhaul fiber transmission distance. Using the optimized settings, sensitivities of -30.94, -30.17, and -27.26 dBm with overloads of -9.3, -5, and >-5 dBm were demonstrated for backhaul transmission distances of 22, 40 and 62 km, respectively.

This paper investigated a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-based integrated satellite-terrestrial network (ISTN), where each user can select to access a terrestrial base station (BS) or the satellite according to the capacity of BS and their individual transmission requirements. A two-stage algorithm is proposed to solve the achievable sum rate maximizing resource optimization problem. In the first stage, user associations are determined based on individual preference lists and the backhaul capacities of the access points (APs).

We have demonstrated, for the first time to our knowledge, a single-carrier 220-Gbit/s wireless link over 214-m distance within hard-decision forward error correction (HD-FEC) limit using a 300-GHz-band photonics-based system incorporated with on-line digital signal processing (DSP). The approach to obtaining these results was to optimize the transmission system by using a low-noised two-tone laser system to the transmitter and receiver and to apply the unique Fresnel region of the antenna to achieve longer distances. These research results are expected to serve as a low-cost and basic communication system technology for promising backhaul wireless communications in the sixth-generation era.

In the context of the rapid development of the Internet of Vehicles, virtual reality, automatic driving and the industrial Internet, the terminal devices in the network show explosive growth. As a result, more and more information is generated from the edge of the network, which makes the data throughput increase dramatically in the mobile communication network. As the key technology of the fifth-generation mobile communication network, mobile edge caching technology which caches popular data to the edge server deployed at the edge of the network avoids the data transmission delay of the backhaul link and the occurrence of network congestion.

In visible light communication (VLC), the precise latency evaluation of wireless access networks and the efficient forwarding strategy of core networks are the crux for end-to-end reliability provisioning. Leveraging martingale theory, an elegant latency-bounded reliability analysis framework is studied for the VLC network. Considering the characteristic that VLC links are easy to block, the martingale of the service process is constructed.

The emergence of content-centric network has resulted in a substantial increase in data transmission in both uplink and downlink directions. To tackle the ensuing challenges of network congestion and bottlenecks in backhaul links within Beyond Fifth Generation (B5G) networks, data caching has emerged as a popular solution. However, caching for uplink transmission in a distributed B5G scenario poses several challenges, including duplicate content matching and users' obliviousness about cached contents.
