Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON): Building a Next-Generation Optical Access Network

This article describes Ethernet passive optical networks, an emerging local subscriber access architecture that combines low-cost point-to-multipoint fiber infrastructure with Ethernet. EPONs are designed to carry Ethernet frames at standard Ethernet rates. An EPON uses a single trunk fiber that extends from a central office to a passive optical splitter, which then fans out to multiple optical...

Flexible TDMA/WDMA passive optical network: Energy efficient next-generation optical access solution

Access networks must further advance to address the intensification of the requirements of growing speeds and the usage of Internet applications, and time and wavelength division multiple access (TDMA/WDMA) based passive optical networks (TWDM-PONs) have been widely considered as one of the evolutionary steps of next-generation optical access (NGOA) networks. TWDM-PON combines the flexibility o...

Ethernet Passive Optical Network (epon)

Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) is a point to multipoint network architecture and suitable for carrying Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service because it provisions higher bandwidth for downstream, but it also cannot satisfy the bandwidth requirement of tens of thousands of IPTV channels and carry these channels simultaneously. Previous papers had proposed some multicast mechanisms...
