Abstract(s)

Fiber-wireless (FiWi) access mesh networks have been proposed as ﬂexible and cost-effective solutions for future access networks. However, for FiWi access mesh networks to provide end-to-end QoS guarantees to its customers, efﬁcient QoS routing schemes and scheduling policies become necessary. Here we provide a model, using repeated game theory, that creates ground for scheduling policies to be implemented. That is, our framework provides insights into how much bandwidth a wireless router needs to share, for foreign trafﬁc forwarding, so that services of local users and services of foreign users can all receive bandwidth in a balanced way. Some strategies were tested, under the developed model, to look for equilibrium states. The equilibrium strategies provide the means for QoS guarantees in FiWi access mesh networks, meaning that they can be used as a basis for scheduling policies.
