School of Computing: Faculty Publications

Data centers (DCs) is becoming increasingly an integral part of the computing infrastructures of most enterprises. Therefore, the concept of DC networks (DCNs) is receiving an increased attention in the network research community. Most DCNs deployed today can be classified as wired DCNs as copper and optical fiber cables are used for intra- and inter-rack connections in the network. Despite recent advances, wired DCNs face two inevitable problems; cabling complexity and hotspots. To address these problems, recent research works suggest the incorporation of wireless communication technology into DCNs. Wireless links can be used to either augment conventional wired DCNs, or …


Application Of Ict - I: Using Point-To-Point 1550nm Laser For Outdoor Mobility, Roshan A. Shaikh, Abdul Basit Aug 2009

Application Of Ict - I: Using Point-To-Point 1550nm Laser For Outdoor Mobility, Roshan A. Shaikh, Abdul Basit

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Significant implementation challenges exist in wireless backbone connectivity. Typical optical wireless communication topologies are evaluated. A fresh approach using 1550nm Wavelength laser to design protocol and topology for point-to-point outdoor connectivity is carried out. Matlab simulation results support the 1550nm laser as a good choice for outdoor connectivity for optical wireless communication. New design and topology for an optical wireless communication system is suggested with special consideration of security and recommendation for the optimal use of such a technology is suggested.
