第五章 結論與展望
5.2 未來研究方向
由於本研究僅只是在初步證明同時連上多個接取網路有省電的可能性,因此 尚有許多議題留待更進一步的討論。而相關的系統參數設定亦會隨著接取網路技 術的變革而有所調整,例如 ADSL 正逐漸朝向以 PON 為基礎的 FTTx 或長距離的 Ethernet 演進;同時無線接取網路環境也將因 LTE 的加入而有所不同。這些都是未 來接續本論文的研究者應考慮的議題。
而對於 ISP 業者而言,要完成本論文提出的省電架構,尚須增加許多設備資 本支出(CapEx),雖然合理推測節省下來的半數電費營運成本(OpEx)可輕易的填補 該項支出,但本部分仍須經過業者依據自身的狀況來精算。除此之外,於 3.5 節亦 提到一些在實做上會遇到的困難,例如 PSR 各部功能的整合以及 NMS 額外的功 能等等,本論文雖已提供少許可供參考的解決方式,詳細的技術細節對業者依然 十分有挑戰性。
而站在學術的角度,由於本論文的使用者流量模式(User Profiles)較為接近 真實網路流量行為而非簡化後的數學模型(例如 Poisson Arrival Process 與
Exponential Service Time),且提出的架構尚未在數學上完整的定義,因此無法事先 預測省電成效,也無法根據嚴謹的數學計算求得最佳解。目前本論文提出的演算 法乃是直觀解(heuristics),相關參數的數值亦缺乏選取的機制或計算,雖然已具 有顯著的省電成效,但架構的適應性與發展性仍然需要使用數學推導來驗證。而 這些議題都十分具有學術研究的價值,期許未來能以本論文為基石繼續更進一步 研究。
