Workshop on Microwave Photonics: An Enabling Technology for 5G

5G technology will be especially demanding in several end-user requirements, such as latency, massive machine-to-machine communication, spectral efficiency, energy consumption, and data rates. In order to meet these requirements a numberof key enabling technologies, such as mm-waves and MIMO will be required. The aim of this workshop is to demonstrate how microwave photonics can be used to realise supporting infrastructure such as mm-wave radio-over-fibre.
