Operation of a mesh grid optic-fiber sensor network with self-reconfigurable function

This paper presents a mesh grid topology for an optical fiber sensor network, which has an efficient structure for intelligent monitoring and reconfigurable protection operations. The integration of light sources and detectors within the network plays a crucial role in achieving comprehensive monitoring of the entire sensor network. Moreover, we have designed multiple nodes for sensing channels with distinct function to maximize the benefits of the topology in terms of network resilience. Finally, centralized and discrete signal processing schemes for network control systems have been demonstrated to be effective under various application conditions.
