Energy-Efficient FSO Reconfiguration under User Mobility in Hybrid Fiber-IAB Backhaul
🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses the challenge of stochastic and time-varying backhaul load induced by user mobility, which static network configurations struggle to handle efficiently. To tackle this issue, the paper proposes a closed-loop, load-aware hysteresis control mechanism for hybrid fiber–integrated access and backhaul (IAB)–free-space optical (FSO) backhaul networks, enabling dynamic resource allocation. The approach innovatively decouples energy efficiency from coverage loss, achieving substantial energy savings with only minimal degradation in coverage performance. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method reduces system energy consumption by 8% to 44% while incurring a coverage loss of merely 0.9% to 6.7%.
📝 Abstract
User mobility creates stochastic, time-varying backhaul demand that static capacity provisioning cannot match. We propose a closed-loop, load-aware hysteresis controller for hybrid fiber-IAB-FSO backhaul and show that energy drops faster than coverage: 8% to 44% energy savings cost only 0.9% to 6.7% coverage.
