최근 인터넷 트래픽의 증가와 음성, 데이터, 동영상과 같은 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스의 영향으로 가입자망의 고속화가 요구되고 있다. 인터넷 트래픽을 효율적으로 가입자에게 제공하기 위해서는 광을 이용한 통신이 이루어져야 한다. 이를 위하여 다양한 기술들이 제시되고 있으며, 경제적인 측면과 구성의 용이성을 고려한 광 가입자망인 PON(Passive Optical Network)에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 파장 분할 다중화 방식으로 단심 상하향 동일파장을 사용하여 소요되는 광섬유의 비용을 반으로 줄이고, 채널당 전송용량을 두 배로 높일 수 있는 매트로 이더넷용 단심 양방향 버스형 WDM-EPON 시스템에 대한 연구를 하고자 한다.

EPON의 상향 전송 방식에서는 다수의 ONU가 OLT로부터 공유된 채널에 대한 권한을 할당받아 데이터를 전송하게 되므로 EPON에서는 각각의 ONU들에게 공유된 대역폭을 공평하고 효율적으로 할당하기 위한 DBA 알고리즘이 필수적이다. 우리는 본 논문에 앞서 기존의 DBA알고리즘들의 문제점을 보안하여 Request-Counter Dynamic Bandwidth Assignment 알고리즘을 새롭게 제안하여 성능평가 및 비교 분석을 하였다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 RC-DBA 알고리즘을 적용하여 OLT의 MAC 스케줄러를 설계하고 Corebell 사의 LDS2000 FPCA ver.1.0 보드에 구현하였다. 또한 이를 검증하기 위해서 임베디드 리눅스 기반의 검증 시스템을 개발하였다.

Because EPON access network shares a medium and aggregates the traffic from EPON subscribers, scheduling media access control on EPON bandwidth allocation is very important. Furthermore DBA mechanism of EPON based on TDMA is out of specification and up to implementation. This paper deals with a DBA method to guarantee the QoS of the delay sensitive traffic on the base of best-effort service and delay priority queue management. The proposed method performs virtual scheduling algorithm for the integrated traffic. It uses the same MAC messages and tries to guarantee the QoS of higher priority traffic first with a simple DBA architecture. We evaluate the algorithm for traffic delay according to polling interval and traffic load of upstream and downstream. The results show that the proposed method can guarantee the QoS of the delay sensitive traffic with priority of the service classes.

Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) has drawn many attention as a promising access network technology for FTTH because it can provide a high bandwidth with a low cost. Since the uplink bandwidth in the EPON system is shared by many users, it is necessary for an EPON system to have an efficient bandwidth allocation mechanism. To support QoS in EPON, the previous bandwidth allocation schemes employ strict priority queueing (SPQ). Since SPQ gives unlimited priority to higher service class, the QoS of lower service classes gets worse. In this paper, we propose Class Gated DBA (Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation) algorithm in which the bandwidth is requested / granted in a service class basis. To avoid the monopoly in bandwidth usage by higher classes the maximum bandwidth that is allocate to each service class is limited (fairness between services classes). In addition, to avoid the monopoly in bandwidth usage by some particular users, each ONU runs fairness bandwidth allocation algorithm within each service classes. Through computer simulations, it is verified that the proposed algorithm achieves a good level of QoS, and at the same time maintains a good level of fairness between both service classes and users.

In this paper, we propose the dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm for the IEEE802.3ah Ethernet Passive Optical Network(EPON) system to provide the fairness among terminals, and evaluate the delay-throughput performance by simulation. For the conventional EPON systems, an Optical Line Termination (OLT) schedules the upstream bandwidth for each Optical Network Unit (ONU), based on its buffer state. This scheme can provide a fair bandwidth allocation for each ONU. However, it has a critical problem that it does not guarantee the fair bandwidth among terminals which are connected to ONUs. For an example, we assume that the traffic from a greedy terminal increases at a time. Then, the buffer state of its ONU is instantly reported to the OLT, and finally the OW can get more bandwidth. As a result, the less bandwidth is allocated to the other ONUs, and thus the transfer delay of terminals connected to the ONUs gets inevitably increased. Noting that this unfairness problem exists in the conventional EPON systems, we propose a fair bandwidth allocation scheme by OLT with considering the buffer state of ONU as welt as the number of terminals connected it. For the performance evaluation, we develop the EPON simulation model with SIMULA simulation language. From the result of the throughput-delay performance and the dynamics of buffer state along time for each terminal and ONU, respectively, one can see that the proposed scheme can provide the fairness among not ONUs but terminals. Finally, it is worthwhile to note that the proposed scheme for the public EPON systems might be an attractive solution for providing the fairness among subscriber terminals.

QoS is an important requirement of the FTTH (Fiber To The Home) subscriber in access network using E-PON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network). In this research, we describe the structure of the access network and propose a bandwidth guarantee scheme for subscriber and service according to the requirements of the subscriber, service and system. This scheme uses two kinds of the classification table, which are called 'service classification table' and 'subscriber classification table.' Using the classification table, we can identify the flow of the subscriber and service. Also, we compute the number of hash table entry to minimize the loss ratio of flows using the M/G/k/k queueing model. Finally, we apply the DRR scheduling through virtual queueing per subscriber instead of the aggregated class.
