Abstract
We study the convergence of fixed and mobile traffic in the time-slotted ring. We analyse the manner in which traffic stemming from mobile and fixed networks share the capacity of the metro network. We propose several approaches for the convergence of fixed and mobile traffic and analyse their performance in terms of delay and bandwidth efficiency while using two traffic models. Our goal is to determine whether it is necessary to separate fixed traffic from mobile traffic, giving priority to the latter. We show that as long as the CoS of packets is taken into account, fixed and mobile traffic can be mixed inside the same time-slot without impairing the QoS requirements of delay-sensitive applications.
