Abstract
This paper focusses on Service Level Agreement (SLA) based end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) maintenance across a wireless optical integrated network. We use long term evolution/5G based spectrum access system (SAS) in the wireless network and the optical network is comprised of an Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON). The proposal targets a learning-based intelligent SAS where opportunistic allocation of any available bandwidth is done after meeting the SLA requirements. Such an opportunistic allocation is particularly beneficial for nomadic users with varying QoS requirements. The opportunistic allocation is carried out with the help of Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) auction. The proposal allows the users of the integrated network to decide the payment they want to make in order to opportunistically avail bandwidth. Learning automata is used for the users to intelligently converge to the optimal payment value based on the network load. The payment made by the users is later used by the optical network units of the EPON to prepare the bids for the auction. The proposal has been verified through extensive simulations.
