Abstract:
|
We demonstrate an analytical model for calculating
the saturation throughput performance of a medium transparent
medium access control (MAC) protocol in 60 GHz radio-over-fiber
(RoF) networks. The proposed model incorporates effectively the
medium transparent MAC mechanism, assuming a finite number
of terminals and ideal channel conditions. It takes into account
contention both at the optical and wireless layer, ensuring seamless
and dynamic capacity allocation over both transmission media.
This model enables extensive saturation throughput performance
analysis for the medium transparent MAC and has been applied
to 60 GHz RoF network scenarios considering variable numbers of
available optical wavelengths, wireless nodes and serving antenna
elements and for two different data rate values, namely 155 Mbps
and 1 Gbps. Comparison between the model-based throughput results
and respective simulation-based outcomes reveals that our
model is extremely accurate in predicting the system throughput.
Moreover, it confirms that the proposed medium transparentMAC
protocol can effectively operate in high-speed 60 GHz RoF LAN
environments. |
