Delay sensitive routing algorithm

摘要

Hybrid Wireless Optical Broadband Access Networks (WOBAN) are the cost effective solution to overcome the increasing demand of the bandwidth. However, there is significant mismatch in the performance of the wireless and optical part. In the wireless part of WOBAN, a packet has to travel through several hops due to which the data packet has to incur a significant delay. In this paper we propose a Delay Sensitive Routing Algorithm (DSRA) which significantly reduces the delay in the wireless part. The proposed DSRA treats the data on the basis of delay sensitivity. Simulation results show a significant improvement in the overall performance of WOBAN.
