An Evolutionary WDM Upgrade for EPONs
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we look at evolutionary upgrade paths to Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) on an Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON). We then propose a method for providing an evolutionary upgrade to WDM in EPONs. We specifically outline an extension to the MultiPoint Control Protocol (MPCP) defined by the IEEE 802.3ah committee to allow for the evolutionary upgrade to WDM within an EPON. We also look at some methods for the Optical Line Terminal (OLT) to manage the bandwidth allocation in the now 2 dimensions (time and wavelength). We conclude with some simulation results and some suggestions as to how to extend this work to other Passive Optical Network (PON) types, such as an ATM Passive Optical Network (APON).

Bandwidth management for WDM EPONs
We explore the problem of bandwidth management for the evolutionary upgrade of WDM EPONs. We divide the bandwidth management problem into two subproblems: (1) grant sizing and (2) grant scheduling. We then apply a scheduling theoretical approach to find a best scheduler for WDM EPONs. We show by means of extensive simulations that a multidimensional scheduling approach using results from schedu...
متن کاملHybrid Dynamic Bandwidth and Wavelength Allocation Algorithm to Support Multi-Service Level Profiles in a WDM-EPON
A novel bandwidth assignment algorithm in WDM Ethernet Passive Optical Networks, called DyWaS-SLA, is proposed not only to provide service differentiation but also to offer subscriber differentiation. Simulation results show that DyWaS-SLA outperforms other bandwidth allocation algorithms in WDM-EPONs as it makes fairer bandwidth distribution than those methods. Consequently, it always insures ...

متن کاملNovel Four-Channel All Optical Demultiplexer Based on Square PhCRR for Using WDM Applications
Ring resonators have always been referred to as a highly flexible structurefor designing optical devices. In this study, we have designed and simulation a fourchannel optical demultiplexer using square photonic crystal ring resonator. The squarelattice constant for this purpose structure is used. The purposed structure has an averagecrosstalk, transmission coefficient, q...
متن کاملUpgrade of a Composite-Star Optical Network
In this manuscript we tackle the optimal upgrade of an innovative optical transport network architecture called the Petaweb, which has a particular composite-star infrastructure that allows two-hop communications between edge nodes. Prior studies of the same authors have tackled the design and dimensioning problem for the Petaweb assuming TDM/WDM equipment and adopting a dedicated path protecti...
