Online Strainer Based Scheduling (OSBS) for Improving Energy Efficiency in FiWi Access Networks

Integration of wireless frontend with optical backend leads to the fiber wireless access network, which provides high bandwidth and flexibility. Energy efficiency in such networks is very crucial and can be achieved by implementing multiplexing, scheduling and optimized components placement. Our prime objective is to improve energy efficiency. Architecture has wavelength agile and radio agile multiplexing at backend and frontend respectively. Firstly, we optimize optical network units using whale optimization and secondly, a novel online scheduling is implemented to obtain better energy efficiency with controlled delay. Proposed methodology shows better energy efficiency and delay performance compare to existing approaches.
