Abstract:
|
We demonstrate for the first time an analytical model
for computing the saturation throughput of a Medium-
Transparent MAC protocol in 60GHz Radio-over-Fiber
networks, assuming a finite number of terminals and ideal
channel conditions. The model takes into account contention both
at the optical and the wireless layer, effectively incorporating the
Medium-Transparent MAC mechanism for seamless and
dynamic capacity allocation over both optical and wireless
transmission media. Based on this model, we provide an extensive
saturation throughput performance analysis of the Medium
Transparent MAC protocol for various optical capacity
availability scenarios and different numbers of wireless users.
The theoretical results are found to be in good agreement with
respective simulation-based findings, confirming that the
employment of Medium Transparent MAC protocols can allow
for efficient extended LAN operation of 60 Radio-over-Fiber
networks. |
