摘要

随着第五代移动通信（5G）向着第六代移动通信（6G）演进，作为其重要组成部分的移动前传（MFH）网络，正面临着更高速度、更大容量的全新要求。现阶段，构建MFH网络有多种方式，如有线的通用公共无线电接口（CPRI）协议、演进通用公共无线电接口（eCPRI）协议和光载射频（RoF）通信、无线的自由空间光（FSO）通信，以及面向6G的全频带接入和人工智能（AI）技术。文章着重介绍了MFH网络的基本架构，以及各种前传网络构建技术，分析了其优劣和解决办法，为未来5G/6G的高速大容量MFH网络研究提供了参考。

Abstract

As the 5th Generation Network (5G) technology evolves towards the 6th Generation Network (6G)

Mobile Fronthaul (MFH) networks are encountering new demands for increased speed and capacity. Currently

there exist several methods for constructing these networks

including wired Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI)

enhanced Common Public Radio Interface (eCPRI)

Radio over Fiber (RoF) communication

wireless Free Space Optical (FSO) communication

as well as full-band access and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology for 6G. This article focuses on the foundational architecture of MFH networks

exploring various construction technologies

analyzing their strengths

weaknesses

and proposed solutions. By doing so

we provide valuable insights for future research on high-speed and high-capacity MFH networks.
