In this paper, the impact of beam blockage due to a disc with varying size and distance from the receiver is studied where blockage is quantitatively evaluated.

An AP can be inaccessible to a user either under hardware or software failures or if its optical beams are blocked by an object. The impact of optical beams ...

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) enables concurrent data transmissions over multiple wireless links aiming to achieve bandwidth aggregation and resilience enhancement.

One recent trend in optical networking is to employ the disaggregated optical systems to respond to rapid changes in network service requirements [14]. With a ...

In this position paper, we discuss the impact on optical networks of all major classes of disaster events mentioned above, and we overview recent relevant ...

This paper addresses the challenge of efficiently designing disaster-resilient wireless-link-augmented optical network infrastructure. We formulate this problem ...

Mar 26, 2021 · Resilience of optical wireless communications under adverse weather conditions (issue (c) above) is, in turn, addressed in Section 5. Section 6 ...

Optical wireless free space systems offer numerous advantages including abundant unregulated optical spectrum, freedom from fading, added physical layer.

Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical networks are prone to failure, which can potentially lead to a catastrophic loss of data and revenue.

In that paper we investigate on the reliability and resilience of a 5 km FSO link simulated by using visibilities data recorded from Dakar city.
