Abstract

Radio-over-fiber (RoF) system is one of the latest plans for future wideband wireless communication systems like mobile communications, suburban and residential areas. These are good nominees to build the backbone of the next generation of wireless networks. Besides, the fundamental requirement for next-generation radio optical fiber and mobile communication is the need for more capacity and speed which has a huge scope, that is further required for a better system to attain demands such as Fiber to The Home (FTTH) and 5G. The combination of RoF with spectrally-efficient modulation techniques can accomplish increasing demand for high data rates for mobile users. Currently, analog fronthaul is promoted as an energy-efficient and bandwidth solution that can reach the necessity of the 5G vision for high data rates, low latency, and energy efficiency. Mainly, this paper presents a review that focuses on various techniques which several approaches have been listed to perceive the large-capacity data transmission and describe them including Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), Subcarrier Multiplexing (SCM), Mode Division Multiplexing (MDM), Polarization Division Multiplexing (PDM), Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM), Parallel  Intensity Modulation (PIM)/Phase Modulation (PM) transmitter, and Millimeter-wave (Mm wave) generation techniques. Also, a comparison between them has been done
