Power consumption modeling in integrated optical-wireless access network
description The access segments of both optical and wireless networks are well known for their domination over the network’s total power consumption. Therefore, the study on energy consumption particularly in integrated optical-wireless access networks is crucial as energy consumption issue is increasingly vital nowadays. Existing works to date largely addressed the physical characteristics of integrated devices and algorithms for layer 2 and layer 3, where the study in power consumption modeling was often ignored. Hence, this thesis focuses on developing a power consumption model for integrated optical-wireless access networks and investigates the energy efficiency of such networks. Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) as the optical backhaul and Worldwide Interoperability Microwave Access (WiMAX) and Long-Term Evolution (LTE) with femtocell application for the wireless network are considered. First, the power consumption model of the integrated network involving Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and integration between Optical Network Unit (ONU) and Base Station (BS) known as Integrated ONU-BS (IOB) are developed. Then, the power consumption behavior of ONU under different traffic loads has been investigated to model the total power consumption of integrated access networks. An empirical approach has been proposed to characterize the power consumption of the ONU by using real GPON testbed and to develop the power consumption model of ONU based on experimental results.
