Virtual fiber communication system and method for spectrum availability-based control of wireless backhaul mesh network

Abstract

A virtual fiber communication system includes a central cloud server that obtains telemetry information from a plurality of network nodes of a wireless backhaul mesh network. The telemetry information includes a first type of telemetry information from a plurality of hybrid analog-digital repeater devices and a second type of telemetry information from a plurality of wireless access point devices. The central cloud server collects data related to properties of signal blockers in a surrounding area of the plurality of network nodes and trains a neural network model based on the first type of telemetry information and the second type of telemetry information. The central cloud server deploys the trained neural network model to detect a Radio Frequency (RF) signal interference or blockage caused by the signal blockers. The detection is based on the data related to the properties of the signal blockers.
