Reliable Friend-Assisted Algorithm in Wireless Optical Broadband Access Network

Abstract

The capability to access the network in the presence of component/path failures is a
fundamental need. So, maintaining survivability is essential for WOBAN also. In this paper,
we propose a reliable friend-assisted algorithm (RFAA) in front-end WOBAN for finding the
reliable path or route. This paper aims to optimize the wireless route based on communication
range. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves better end-to-end
delay performance as compared existing maximum protection minimum link cost (MPMLC)
algorithm with multiple link failure.
