Summary :

Energy consumption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become a contemporary issue due to its rapid growth. In Malaysia, ICT has become one of the critical national development agendas with over 60% household broadband penetration in 2011. However, growth in the access network (the telecommunication section that is closer to the end-users) will also lead to higher energy consumption due to the large portion of active components in this section. As the demand for high bandwidth continues to surge, novel hybrid access network paradigm is designed which can combine the optical backhaul and wireless front-end technologies, also known as Wireless Optical Broadband Access Network (WOBAN). This work involves theoretical and numerical modelling of its end-to-end power consumption considering components such as router and transponder. These models will become inputs to the network layer that is responsible for energy-aware route decision process. In order to make energy efficiency as one of objectives, a built-in power efficiency database (PED) in the existing routing protocol/algorithm is necessary. In particular, analysis on important network performance indicators such as overall energy efficiency and loss will be carried out. Thus this research will contribute to the improvement of hybrid networking protocol that serves as preliminary works towards the implementation of a WOBAN test bed that runs the developed energy-aware network.
