Cost effective Fi-Wi using optimal ONU placement: A performance analysis of modified whale optimization algorithm

Fibre Wireless (Fi-Wi) access technology integrates the existing broadband access technology and wireless access technology to fulfil the users’ demand for better Internet speed in “anytime anywhere” approach and cost-efficient manner. It is designed to make the best use of their advantages in terms of vast bandwidth, mobility, and cost effectiveness. However, there remain there remain several open and challenging issues that require concentrated research efforts to build such an access technology. ONU placement problem is one among these issues as ONU placement in FiWi plays a critical role in overall network deployment cost and resource optimization. In this work, we present performance analysis of modified wale optimization algorithms by considering different of scenarios for ONUs and wireless routers in a FiWi network. We also compare present throughput gain for the algorithms under varied ONU and router deployment.
