Abstract

We study the problem of integrated topology control and routing in Free Space Optical (FSO) mesh backbone networks. FSO links are high-bandwidth, low interference links that can be set-up very fast, making them suitable for mesh networking. FSO networks are highly constrained by interface constraints, i.e., constraints on the number of FSO links a node can establish. We prove the problem to be NP-Hard and propose efficient algorithms for integrated topology control and single-path or multi-path routing.
