In this paper, we propose an optimization method for
deployment of survivable FiWi access network with ISCW.
The small cell function of ISCW is used to achieve maximal
coverage of subscribers. Specifically, the WiFi function of
ISCW provides the redundant mesh connectivity to transmit
data from each primary ISCW to its backup ISCWs, in order to
avoid the huge data loss and traffic outage when a distribution
fiber is broken. The Optimization method ensures that
coverage, capacity and delay demands of FiWi access network
are satisfied and the simulation results presented here confirms
the feasibility of this approach towards resilient FiWi
deployments.
