On The Evolution of PON-Based FTTH Solutions
نویسنده
چکیده
Passive Optical Network (PON)-based Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) is a promising solution that can break through the economic barrier of traditional point-to-point solutions. Once fibers are deployed with PON-based FTTH solutions, it becomes critical how to migrate to Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)-PON because Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) used in current PON solutions cannot exploit the huge bandwidth of the optical fibers and therefore will not be able to meet ever-increasing demands for higher bandwidth by future network applications. In this paper we review and compare the current PON-based FTTH solutions, ATM-PON (APON) and Ethernet PON (EPON), and provide a possible evolution scenario to future WDMPON. 2002 Elsevier Science Inc.

متن کاملNext Generation Optical Access Network: Standardization Outline and Key Technologies for Co-existence with Legacy Systems
Users are increasingly demanding broadband services, and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) is the main technology to answer these demands. Gigabit-class passive optical network (PON) systems, IEEE802.3ah GE-PON [1] or ITU-T G.984 G-PON [2] have been widely deployed and used by many network operators. The number of FTTH users in Asia is increasing and has exceeded 30 million [3]. Especially in Japan the ...
متن کاملProtection route Mechanism for Survivability in FTTH-PON Network
This paper described the proposed protection route mechanism and simulation of protection mechanism model in order to achieve survivability in PON-FTTH. Due to large transport capacity achieved by the network, failures which occur cause huge losses of data and greatly influence upon a large number of users over a wide area. Therefore, the survivability of the whole network has to be examined mo...
