Abstract
This paper reviews train communication networks (TCNs) based on radio-over-fibre (RoF) technology. TCNs connect base stations (BSs) in trains to world wide networks through trackside links consisting of optical fibres and many radio access units (RAUs). Waveform for radio communications can be effectively delivered to each RAU by RoF. The TCN can be controlled by train location information to reduce overhead due to hand-over in mobile communication systems.
