Availability-differentiated service provisioning in free-space optical access networks
2005
Journal of Optical Networking
Weather conditions have a significant impact on availability of free-space optical (FSO) access networks. Under fair weather conditions, such networks can use long-range FSO links that span over 1 km. Under severe weather conditions, e.g., dense fog, only the short-range FSO links in the range of 200-400 m remain operational. We propose an availability-differentiated networking scheme that supports two classes of service availability in an FSO network consisting of both long-range and
