Throughput and delay analysis for hybrid radio-frequency and free-space-optical (RF/FSO) networks

Abstract: In this paper the per-node throughput and endto-end delay of randomly deployed (i.e. ad-hoc) hybrid radio frequency -free space optics (RF/FSO) networks are studied. The hybrid RF/FSO network consists of an RF ad hoc network of n nodes, f(n) of them, termed 'super nodes', are equipped with an additional FSO transceiver with transmission range s(n). Every RF and FSO transceiver is able to transmit at a maximum data rate of W 1 and W 2 bits/sec, respectively. An upper bound on the per node throughput capacity is… Show more

“…A hybrid approach that uses both RF and FSO has the potential to overcome the weakness of each of the individual channel types. Several frameworks have been proposed for such hybrid networks [3,4,5,23,25] and a few prototypes have been implemented [7,8,24].…”
