Abstract
To improve fiber-wireless (FiWi) access network performance, this work proposes a distributed control plane by simply shifting the centralized control task away from the distant central office (optical plane) towards the closely clustered wireless nodes (wireless plane) at the access end. This distributed scheme results in a globally optimized upstream resource allocation scheme, thus paving the way for improved performance.
