Abstract

Toward the vision of complete fixed-mobile convergence, a plethora of wireless, integrated optical-wireless, multipath, and energy-aware routing algorithms were proposed for legacy EPON/WLAN-mesh based bimodal fiber-wireless (FiWi) broadband access networks. In this paper, we present the first comprehensive analytical framework for providing deeper insights into the capacity and delay performance of routing algorithms in next-generation FiWi networks based on emerging powerful optical and wireless technologies such as long-reach 10+ Gb/s TDM/WDM PONs and Gigabit-class VHT WLANs.
