Energy-Efficient FSO Reconfiguration under User Mobility in Hybrid Fiber-IAB Backhaul
It addresses energy efficiency in mobile backhaul networks, but the approach is incremental (hysteresis control) and domain-specific.
The paper proposes a load-aware hysteresis controller for hybrid fiber-IAB-FSO backhaul that adapts to user mobility, achieving 8% to 44% energy savings at the cost of only 0.9% to 6.7% coverage loss.
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.
