Abstract :

Today, access networking remains the most arduous bottleneck in modern communication networks. The need for covering more users in larger regions with adequate bandwidth is still a laborious challenge. One of the most promising solutions to address this challenge is to leverage the advantages of wireless and optical technologies. The deployment of hybrid wirelessoptical networks, known as Fiber-Wireless (FiWi) networks, where the optical infrastructure could be terminated at the curb (Fiber To The Curb�FTTC) or at the building (Fiber To The Building�FTTB) and wireless access points could expand the broadband access connectivity to the end users, has emerged as a viable, advanced infrastructure. This presentation endeavors to highlight the most important and promising FiWi solutions. In particular, architectures, implementation solutions, connection options and fabrics, bandwidth allocation schemes, and resource allocation algorithms will be presented in order to shed light in this compelling research field. Moreover, some latest research efforts will be introduced giving emphasis to adequate bandwidth distribution in FiWi networks.
