Abstract :
We propose a transceiver-distribution provisioning heuristic for optimized optical wireless networks. Simulation results show that networks adopting the proposed heuristic outperform on load balance, link usage, and average packet delay by 37%, 29%, and 17%, respectively, compared to unplanned transceiver distribution.
