Fuzzy Activation and Clustering of Nodes in a Hybrid Fibre Network Roll-out

conference paper
To design a Hybrid Fibre network, a selection of nodes is provided with active equipment and connected with fibre. If there is a need for a ring structure for high reliability, the activated nodes need to be clustered. In this paper a fuzzy method is proposed for this activation and clustering problem and is compared to a simple Activate First, Cluster Second (AFCS) method. The proposed method is shown to outperform the AFCS method in average.
