Abstract

The reliability and scalability of large-scale based optical fiber sensor networks (AOFSN) are considered in this paper. The AOFSN network consists of three-level hierarchical sensor network architectures. The first two levels consist of active interrogation and remote nodes (RNs) and the third level, called the sensor subnet (SSN), consists of passive Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) and a few switches. The switch architectures in the RN and various SSNs to improve the reliability and scalability of AOFSN are studied. Two SSNs with a regular topology are proposed to support simple routing and scalability in AOFSN: square-based sensor cells (SSC) and pentagon-based sensor cells (PSC). The reliability and scalability are evaluated in terms of the available sensing coverage in the case of one or multiple link failures.
