A Heuristic for Fault-Tolerance Provisioning in Multi-Radio Hybrid Wireless-Optical Broadband Access Networks, Proc. of IEEE 11th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON’09), pp. 1-4978-1-4244-4825-8AU: GSC00606; NCO01021;http://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/2537The wireless-optical broadband-access network (WOBAN) architecture has been proposed as a flexible and cost-effective solution for future access networks. However, for WOBANs to provide geographically continuous wireless coverage it is necessary to integrate fault-tolerance in the design of such networks. In this paper we develop a heuristic algorithm to solve the problem of planning a wireless and optical fault-tolerant multi-radio WOBAN, considering any fault-tolerance scenario (e.g. some nodes/links/region only), while making an efficient reuse of spectrum.engHeuristicLocal searchFault-toleranceChannelAssignmentHybrid wireless-optical networksconference objecthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ICTON.2009.5185022
