Comparison and Analysis of Routing Protocols Based on OPNET for Fiber-Wireless Broadband Access Network

Abstract:

As a promising communication technology for smart grid system, Fiber-Wireless (FiWi) broadband access network integrating wireless and optical access technologies, is becoming a promising “last mile” access technology. As the front-end of FiWi broadband access network, Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) has the features of high transmission rate, wide coverage and low cost of networking, etc, which can make FiWi broadband access network have the advantages of self-healing, self-configuring and flexibility. As one of the key technologies in WMN, wireless routing protocols play an important role in the performance optimization of WMN, which directly influence FiWi broadband access network. Thus, this paper mainly studies the routing protocols in WMN based on OPNET network simulation platform. By simulation and analysis, this paper shows that Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol has low data dropped and good performance in network delay. Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol has low network load. Meanwhile, Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol has high network throughput.
