FSO networks: understanding route diversity under turbulence phenomena towards reliable FSO mesh networks design.
In last mile extensions of MANs, wireless mesh networks are multi-hop networks being used as backbone networks connecting end-users with the access points connected to the Internet. Wireless mesh networks are an attractive option over optical fibres because of their ease of installation and cost effectiveness of deployment[1]. Moreover, Free Space Optics (FSO) technology is an attractive option for use in mesh networks [2, 3]. However, time-variant influence of the atmosphere in FSO links that introduces one of the main drawbacks [4]. In order to overcome the turbulence induced fading in FSO systems, several techniques have been proposed These include: spatial transmitter/receiver diversity [5] [6]; adaptive beam forming [7]; wavelength diversity [8], multiple-beam communication [9], novel modulation techniques and hybrid RF/optical link scheme. Moreover, topology design and routing are essential tools for FSO mesh networks performance. The turbulence phenomena also influences in the topology and routing design of complex FSO networks, then route diversity techniques will improve the mesh network reliability [14]. For example, route diversity application within mesh optical networks deployed Tokyo provided interesting experiment results in [15]. This presentation will offer an overview of turbulence phenomena on FSO mesh networks from route diversity point of view.
