Analysis on multiple optical line terminal passive optical network based open access network

Abstract

Passive optical networks (PONs) offer sufficient bandwidth to transfer huge amount having different packet sizes and data rates being generated by fusion of various networks. Additionally, multiple optical line terminals (OLTs) PONs reduce the computational complexity of data processing for nonuniform traffic. However,in order to improve the bandwidth allocation efficiency of a mixture of service providers, dynamic bandwidth algorithm (DBA) is needed for uplink communication. In this paper, a PON based open access network (OAN) is analyzed for bi-directional communication at various data rates. Multiple wavelengths are used to modulate the data of various service providers to evade the complicated DBA for uplink data broadcasting. The performance of the network is reported in terms of bandwidth exploitation, uplink effectiveness, overhead-to-data ratio and time cycle duration. The network is analyzed at various data rates to reveal the data accommodation capacity.
