Abstract
The hybrid optical wireless (HOW) network has
been viewed as a promising solution to meet the increasing
user bandwidth and mobility demands. Due to the basic
differences in the optical and wireless technologies, a
challenging problem lies in the Media Access Control
(MAC) protocol design so that it can support stringent
Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. In this paper, we
describe and evaluate a resource management framework
designed for the HOW networks. There are two parts in
the resource management framework The first part is the
Enhanced MPCP (E-MPCP) scheme aiming at improving
signaling ability between the optical and wireless
networks. The second part is an Integrated Optical
Wireless Admission Control (IOW-AC) scheme aiming at
providing the integrated bandwidth allocation in the HOW
networks. Our results show that the performances of the
system in terms of throughput, delay and packet dropping
probability depend on several factors. These factors
include the frame duration, the traffic load and the total
number of shared users. The results also highlight that our
proposed system achieves significant improvements over
the traditional approach in terms of user QoS guarantee
and network resource utilization.
