Design and analysis of wireless data center network topology HCDCN based on VLC

Abstract

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing and other industries, the data center network, as the core infrastructure of the computing industry, is becoming increasingly important. Wireless communication technology is developing rapidly. This paper uses visible light wireless communication technology to build a wireless data center network, solving the problems of complex wiring and expansion difficulties in the existing data center network.Aiming at the problems of insufficient spectrum, low bandwidth utilization and large energy consumption in the existing wireless data center, this paper adopts the visible light wireless communication technology based on LED, and proposes a new wireless data center network structure HCDCN. Firstly, work have been done to analyze the feasibility of introducing data centers in this technology, and transform server racks in combination with the characteristics of the technology. Secondly, the construction process of the structure is introduced and a new coding rule is proposed. In order to increase the routing efficiency and fault tolerance, the rack top link routing path is added, and an efficient routing algorithm is designed. Finally, the aggregate throughput of HCDCN under different scales is obtained through experiments, and the network performance of HCDCN structure is compared with that of OWCells and Mesh structure. Experiments have proved that HCDCN's network performance is better than the other two structures under the same conditions. The new wireless data center network proposed in this paper has largely alleviated the bandwidth shortage of hotspot servers.
