Fiber-to-the-room (FTTR) wireless local area networks (WLANs) are a promising sixth-generation (6G) technology for extreme broadband low-latency indoor wireless communications. With dense deployment of access points (APs), namely optical network units (ONUs), and efficient spatial frequency reuse across the ONUs, FTTR WLANs enable the mobile devices to flexibly access any ONU in its communication range and reduce the collisions during data packet transmissions. However, FTTR WLANs share a passive optical network (PON) for time division multiplexing (TDM) based backhauling, which may incur long delays for scheduling packet transmissions over the PON. In this paper, the full-link age of information (FL-AoI) is proposed as a new performance metric to analyze the timeliness of indoor communications in FTTR WLANs, taking into account both the carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) based wireless transmission and the TDM based packet scheduling over the PON. The FL-AoI of FTTR WLANs is analyzed using stochastic geometry and stretched exponential path-loss (SEPL) based indoor wireless channel model. We show that rather than accessing the nearest ONUs, the FTTR WLAN also enable the mobile devices to access further ONUs to reduce the average FL-AoI. Meanwhile, there exists an optimal transmission distance to achieve minimal average FL-AoI in the FTTR WLAN, whose value depends on the deployment density of ONUs.
