Competition for delivering high-bandwidth "multi-play" services (video, voice, data) is on constant increase. Advanced service delivery requires a higher bandwidth pipe to the end user through passive optical network (PON) technologies. The two major PON standards GPON is an International Telecommunication Union - Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) and EPON is a standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). This project compares and looks at the choices and challenges service providers face as they bring new PON technology possibilities to their customers and analyze these two standards in terms of their performance, physical properties, implementation and testing requirements. It also discusses the evolution paths for each of the standards and the challenges for such evolution. The final chapter will include the conclusions, some final thoughts, suggestions and recommendations for new projects implementation.

With the emerging applications and needs of ever increasing bandwidth, it is anticipated that the Next-Generation Passive Optical Network (NG-PON) with much higher bandwidth is a natural path forward to satisfy these demands and for network operators to develop valuable access networks. NG-PON systems present optical access infrastructures to support various applications of many service providers. Therefore, some general requirements for NG-PON networks are characterized and specified. Hybrid Passive Optical Networks (HPON) present a necessary phase of the future transition between PON classes with TDM or WDM multiplexing techniques utilized on the optical transmission medium – the optical fiber. Therefore, some specific requirements for HPON networks are characterized and presented. For developing hybrid passive optical networks, there exist various architectures and directions. They are also specified with emphasis on their basic characteristics and distinctions. Finally, the HPON network configurator as the interactive software tool is introduced in this chapter. Its main aim is helping users, professional workers, network operators and system analysts to design, configure, analyze, and compare various variations of possible hybrid passive optical networks. Some of the executed analysis is presented in detail.

Passive optical network (PON) is a cost-efficient access network technology to deliver broadband services. Moreover, service providers employ PONs to offer novel services. New business scenarios are, thus, envisioned in which customers owning multiple optical network units (ONUs) are connected to a single PON (multi-ONU customers). This paper proposes a dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm to guaranteed bandwidth for multi-ONU customers in Ethernet PONs (EPONs). It also introduces a bandwidth sharing algorithm to support cooperation among customers. Results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the overall throughput and quality of service provisioning.

For developing hybrid passive optical networks, there exist various architectures and directions. They are specified with emphasis on their basic characteristics. For proposing reliable and survivable architectures, traffic protection schemes must be implemented. For converging Fi-Wi passive optical networks, an integration of optical and wireless technologies into common broadband access network must be considered. Finally, the HPON network configurator as the interactive software tool is introduced.

AbstractWith the rapid development of mobile Internet, high-definition video and cloud computing, users’ bandwidth demands are not only larger and larger but also more and more diverse. To solve this problem, there searchers put forward the concept of elastic optical network (EON). EON adopts the transmission mode of elastic grid, which can allocate spectrum resources flexibly and meet high bandwidth and diversity requirements at the same time. Routing and spectrum allocation (RSA) is an important issue in EON. In this paper, we present a heuristic algorithm named constrained-lower-indexed-block (CLIB) allocation algorithm for the RSA problem. The algorithm is based on the K candidate paths. When there are available spectrum blocks on multiple candidate paths, if the increase of the path length does not exceed a given threshold, the lower index spectrum would be selected for the connection request on a longer path. The aim of the algorithm is to concentrate the occupied frequency slices on one side of the spectrum and leave another side of the spectrum to the later arrived connection requests as much as possible, to reduce the blocking probability of connection requests. Simulation results show that comparing with the first-last-fit and hybrid grouping algorithms, the CLIB algorithm can reduce the blocking probability of connection requests.

AbstractPassive optical networks based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM-PON) give better performance in high-speed optical access networks. For further improvement in performance, a new architecture of OFDM-PON based on spreading code in electrical domain is proposed and analytically analyzed in this paper. This approach is referred as hybrid multi-carrier code division multiple access-passive optical network (MC-CDMA-PON). Analytical results show that at bit error rate (BER) of 10

AbstractWe demonstrated a full duplex hybrid passive optical network and indoor optical wireless system employing coherent optical frequency division multiplexing. To accomplish reliable transmission in passive optical networks integrated visible-light communication (VLC), yellow light-emitting diode and infrared LED is used in downstream and upstream, respectively, for intra building network. In order to support high data rate, pulse-width reduction scheme based on dispersion compensation fiber is incorporated and system successfully covered the distance of 50 km. A data stream at the rate of 30 Gb/s is transmitted for each user out of eight users. VLC-supported users are catered with the bit rate of 1.87 Gb/s over 150 cm and in order to realize a low-cost system, visible and infrared LEDs are used in downlink and uplink, respectively.

This article presents a numerical implementation of the activation process for gigabit and 10 gigabit next generation and Ethernet passive optical networks. The specifications are completely different because GPON, XG-PON and NG-PON2 were developed by the International Telecommunication Union, whereas Ethernet PON was developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The speed of an activation process is the most important in a blackout scenario because end optical units have a timer after expiration transmission parameters are discarded. Proper implementation of an activation process is crucial for eliminating inadvisable delay. An OLT chassis is dedicated to several GPON (or other standard) cards. Each card has up to eight or 16 GPON ports. Furthermore, one GPON port can operate with up to 64/128 ONUs. Our results indicate a shorter duration activation process (due to a shorter frame duration) in Ethernet-based PON, but the maximum split ratio is only 1:32 instead of up to 1:64/128 for gigabit PON and newer standards. An optimization improves the reduction time for the GPON activation process with current PLOAM messages and with no changes in the transmission convergence layer. We reduced the activation time from 215 ms to 145 ms for 64 ONUs.

AbstractFor the commercial wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) with standard single-mode fiber SSMF-28 and 1:64 passive fiber branching at its far end (RN) and 100 GHz C-band continuous wavelength (CW) lasers, the maximum coverage and optimal transmission power of STM-16 and STM-64 with external modulators at different speeds and wave numbers (4λ, 8λ and 16λ) are obtained, respectively. The performance parameter of the high data rate WDM-PON system is analyzed with respect to a number of channels and reach. In order to improve the network utilization and receiving efficiency, the influence of different channels and transmission distances on the performance of high data rate WDM-PON system is analyzed. Simulation analysis with Optisystem15.0. The maximum transmission power required to achieve the maximum transmission distance under the condition of nonlinear constraints is obtained. In order to save power consumption, the configuration of each multi-band PON is optimized in terms of transmission power. It is found that WDM-PON system has to compromise between aggregated data rate and system reach. Future software defined access network reconfigure the access network depending on the dynamic demand and the resources available. Hence depending on the distance between the optical line terminal (OLT) and optical network unit (ONU) guaranteed data rate can be estimated. ONU is equipped with a tunable optical filter (TOF) hence future wavelength can be reconfigured by both service provider and user. It makes it possible for software to customize optical access network.

This paper proposes an alternative solution for Long-Reach Ethernet passive optical networks. The proposed scheme enables directly communication between ONUs for the transmission of local traffic and control messages, and each ONU calculates bandwidth allocation independently without participation of OLT to remedy the long propagation delay of LR-PON. This scheme also supports centralized control by OLT to change ONUs’ parameters synchronously. Simulation results show that this scheme can effectively reduce the end-to-end packet delay, while maintaining high throughput in uplink channel.
