Abstract This thesis aims to improve the network connectivity by adding a limited number of oF links along with the wireless connections of RF, FSO or hybrid RF/FSO backhaul links between the small cells while taking into consideration the minimum data rate, the cost, and reliability of different links. In contribution I, we aim to maximize the algebraic connectivity by inserting a limited number of links of backhauling technologies, while minimum rate per link (R) constraint must be satisfied. While in contribution II, we aim to maximize both the algebraic connectivity and nodes throughput by inserting a limited number of links of backhauling technologies |
