Why not have a Moore’s law equivalent for Residential Internet Access?
Problems today: 1. FTTH is expensive ($100B+), but game is changing
2. Last-mile telecommunications has a duopoly structure
?

The Ultra-Broadband Opportunity Optical networking slowly closing in on the last 10 miles:
Copper and Cable networks still dominate final mile
Wireless is slowly creeping in as a complementary technology: 3G Mobility, WiFi hot-spots, WiFi LANs WiMax: will open the era of broadband wireless access
(true competitor to DSL, cable modems) Community wireless networks (CWNs) under
experimentation: auto-configured, auto-managed networks
The problem of cheap wireless 1-10 Gbps-to-the-home via wireless technologies is a good stretch target for the next 10 years…

Ultra-BB Wireless Prognosis made in 1996! Tim Shepard (MIT) Thesis, and SIGCOMM’96 paper “… We show that with a modest fraction of the radio spectrum pessimistic
assumptions about propagation resulting in maximum possible self-interference and an optimistic view of future signal processing capabilities that a self-organizing packet radio network may scale to millions of stations within a metro area with raw per-station rates in the hundreds of megabits per second…”
Why has wireless ultra-broadband not happened yet? Need cheap, open wireless MAN technology building
blocks Physical layer innovations (MIMO, OFDM) integrated into open
standards Multi-hop meshes still cannot compete with the cellular
model Need to allow it to truly self-manage (largely!) and scale
organically.

Broadband exists. Why CWN? Ans: Multiplicity.
Cable modem and DSL and CWN and … Commodity => cheap to get multiple access facilities …

Bringing Optical Communications and Ad Hoc Networking Together…

Current Commercial FSO
Point-to-Point Links in dense metros, competing with “wires” and “leased lines”Issue: How to achieve link reliability/availability despite weather
Shivkumar KalyanaramanRensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Ad-Hoc/Meshed Optical Wireless: Why?
Positive points: High-brightness LEDs (HBLEDs) are very low cost and highly reliable
components 35-65 cents a piece, and $2-$5 per transreceiver package + upto 10 years
lifetime Very low power consumption (100 microwatts for 10-100 Mbps!)
Even lower power for 1-10 Mbps 4-5 orders of magnitude improvement in energy/bit compared to RF
Directional => Huge spatial reuse => multiple parallel channels for huge bandwidth increases due to spectral efficiency
More Secure: Highly directional + small size & weight => low probability of interception (LPI)
Issues: Need line-of-sight (LOS); and alignment of LOS & network auto-configuration Need to deal with weather & temporary obstacles, alignment loss
Challenge: leverage huge benefits while tackling problems.

Auto-configuration: Location tracking and management
Location tracking: (optional integration w/ GPS) Use highly granular spherical FSO antennas (e.g. hundreds of
transceivers) can detect angle of arrival Use time of flight or signal strength can detect distance Unlike RF, no need for triangulation: sense of direction is available.
Allows easy integration with Community Wireless Networks (CWNs) Organic network growth

SUMMARY: Ultra-Broadband Wireless: puzzle falling in place…
(1) Infinite Spectrum in Thin Air! Key: use unlicensed spectrum or larger licensed bands
(2) Multi-hop architecture w/ Base-Station Interfaces Wireless is fundamentally cheap for shorter distances, smaller coverage Organic architecture: auto-conf, self-management (10+ years of research in ad-hoc
networks), community wireless IP/geographic routing, fully distributed traffic engineering mechanisms Technology neutral, extensible, modular: 802.11x, 802.16x, FSO (2a) Multi-hop Free-space-optics (FSO) using ultra-low-cost components for
100 Gbps+ capabilities
Key: Broadband CWNs & ad-hoc FSO complementary to ongoing advances in FTTH, DSL/Cable, WiMax, 3G rollouts. Open Problems in upgrading the network and transport layers to leverage raw, but
distributed bandwidth, and tolerate higher bursty losses (weather related)
