Abstract

This paper analyzes energy and power consumption of integrated optical/wireless in-building networks, with the goal of identifying energy hogs and finding ways to reduce the overall energy consumption of such networks. That goal can be achieved by optimizing network, node and circuit design along with an energy-efficient function allocation between the optical and wireless domains. This paper presents our methodology, results, and conclusions as well as selected measurement results from real networks and real network nodes.
