摘要：In the last decade wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have emerged as a key technology for next generation wireless networking. Because of their advantages over other wireless networks, WMNs are undergoing rapid progress and inspiring numerous applications. One such application is to provide peer-to-peer communication for all the users who are distributed over some area. Since the users are connected in a wireless multi-hop passion complete ubiquity is provided. But as the number of users accessing the network is increasing there could be a chance of experiencing more interference by each user due to the communication link of every other user. So in a wireless mesh network as the load increases the throughput of network is going to be decreased due to wireless interference by other users. To sustain this problem we are going to integrate the WMN with passive optical network (PON). The resulting hybrid network (Optical-wireless network) could reduce the wireless hops of each user, so that we can reduce the total wireless interference experienced by each user resulting in improved network throughput. This paper aims to study the network throughput gain in Optical-wireless network subject to peer-to-peer communications.
