Abstract(in English) To facilitate management of a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, the WLAN system with radio-over-fiber (RoF) is one of the promising systems. In the system, access points (APs) are replaced by radio-frequency (RF) units. Each unit consists of an antenna, amplifiers, analog-to-digital (AD)/digital-to-analog (DA) converters, and an interface circuit. The residual physical (PHY) and media-access-control (MAC) functions of the existing APs are moved to the central office's facility which is connected to the RF unit with the optical fibers. This system causes large propagation delay between stations and an AP, thus frame collisions occurs frequently in a conventional MAC protocol. In particular, when a legacy WLAN coexists with the RoF based WLAN, the throughput performance of an AP in the RoF based WLAN decreases largely. To solve this problem, we propose a method to increase the transmission opportunity where the RoF AP can transmit frames without collisions. The simulation results show that the proposed method increases TCP throughput and MAC layer fairness between uplink and downlink transmissions in the RoF based WLAN.
