Dynamically reconfigurable radio-over-fiber network with medium access control protocol to provide network access to train passengers

Performance of IEEE 802.11 medium access control protocol over a wireless local area network with distributed radio bridges

In this paper, the throughput and access delay performance of a distributed wireless local area network employing the IEEE 802.11 medium access control protocol is analyzed by computer simulations. The proposed network uses the same radio channel over the entire coverage area for wireless terminals to communicate with multiple radio bridges (RBs) with macrodiversity. A channel model with additi...

Study of Wireless Mesh Network over Medium Access Control Layer

Ad hoc networks can be established every time and everywhere, and they are usually comprised of a group of workstations or other wireless devices that communicate directly with each other to exchange information. Usually there is no central management available. The topology in ad hoc networks may change rapidly due to the unpredictable mobility of individual devices. A wireless mesh network (W...

Optical-Router-Based Dynamically Reconfigurable Photonic Access Network

Heterogeneous radio-over-fiber passive access network architecture to mitigate Rayleigh backscattering interferometric beat noise.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a hybrid radio-over-fiber (ROF) wavelength division multiplexed and time division multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-TDM PON) architecture to mitigate Rayleigh backscattering (RB) interferometric beat noises. Here, only a single wavelength is needed at the central office (CO) to generate the downstream baseband data for optical wired application a...

Access and Mobility Policy Control at the Network Edge

The fifth generation (5G) system architecture is defined as service-based and the core network functions are described as sets of services accessible through application programming interfaces (API). One of the components of 5G is Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) which provides the open access to radio network functions through API. Using the mobile edge API third party analytics applications ...
