摘要:
Systems and methods are disclosed for communicating data in an integrated sensor network having one or more nodes coupled to an optical sensor network and a radio frequency wireless sensor network, each node having an optical link and a wireless link. The method includes determining a transmission path having one or more hybrid hops for packet transmission over the optical sensor network and the radio frequency wireless sensor network, each hybrid hop including optical and wireless links between two neighboring nodes; and selecting a set of optical and wireless links for the optical sensor network and the radio frequency wireless sensor network to minimize contiguous wireless links.
摘要:
A system and method for dynamically allocating sub-carriers between the nodes of an optical OFDMA ring network or an OFDMA passive optical network. A carrier allocation system assigns sub-carriers according to a utility function based on real-time measurements of arrival data rates and queue length variance.
摘要:
System(s), device(s), and method(s) are provided to route data in a mesh network of devices that can communicate wirelessly through a plurality of technologies. One or more of such devices receive broadcast message(s) from a destination device intended to receive the data, and generate a first radio link quality metric (RLQM) value based on the broadcast message(s). A source device originates and delivers a quantum of data with an embedded first RLQM value. A set of intermediate devices relays the quantum of data if a forwarding criterion is fulfilled; the forwarding criterion is based in part on the first RLQM value and a second RLQM value generated by an intermediate device in the set of intermediate devices based on the broadcast message(s). The intermediate device exploits an optical interface to transmit the quantum of data. The destination device broadcasts an acknowledgement signal in response to receiving intended data.
摘要:
Each of a plurality of data flows is classified as having a respective data flow type, and each data flow is assigned to one of a plurality of subcarrier groups, based on the data flow's type, wherein each subcarrier group comprises a respective plurality of subcarriers. First data flows assigned to a first subcarrier group are transmitted exclusively on respective subcarriers in the first subcarrier group, and second data flows assigned to a second subcarrier group are transmitted together on all of the subcarriers in the second subcarrier group.
摘要:
For each path in a first plurality of paths in said communication network, a respective first weighted path length is determined based at least in part on a number of pure wireless links in the path. From among the first plurality of paths, a second plurality of paths having first weighted path lengths less than a threshold value is selected. For each path in the second plurality, a respective second weighted path length is determined based at least in part on a number of pure optical links in the path, and from among the second plurality of paths, a transmission path is selected having a highest second weighted path length. Information is transmitted via the transmission path.
