A QoS provisioning architecture of fiber wireless network based on XGPON and IEEE 802.11ac

The integration of the XGPON network with the 5G WLAN network is a suitable solution for next-generation high-speed access Internet service. We demonstrated the integration of two different standards via the QoS concept. Further, this work also presents a proper mapping scheme of QoS traffic between XG-PON and fifth-generation Wi-Fi standards known as IEEE 802.11ac. The analysis assessment compares the behavior of different IEEE 802.11ac standards with XGPON with-respect-to multimedia traffic in the FiWi network. To assess the performance of the FiWi network, the OMNET++ and INET framework are used to carrying out a comparative analysis in terms of upstream (US) delay and fairness index. The study concludes that the EDCA Wi-Fi module has better performance than the DCF Wi-Fi module with the integrated XGPON system for the FiWi access network.
