Recently, broadband access networks have been competitively deployed all over the world with the development of various multimedia services for such a network. ETRI(Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute) built the FTTH(Fiber-To-the-Home) service center to develop a next-generation equipment and a high-quality service/platform as well as to promote domestic industry in the field of optical communication. The FTTH service center has a variety of test equipments such as FTTH standard testbed for a BMT(bench mark test), a network operation center, and IPTV service equipments. Also, ETRI deployed a new type of commercial optical access networks cooperating with ISP(Internet Service Provider). This paper presents the performance evaluation of FTTH E-PON(Ethernet Passive Optical Network) system as a platform for TPS(Triple Play Service) based on QoS(Quality of Service) and QoE(Quality of Expericence) issues. This FTTH E-PON system is successfully demonstrated as an optical access network system by commercial network service provider and the FTTH service center of ETRI.

최근에 VOD, HDTV, 라이브 스트리밍 등의 서비스가 늘어나면서 가입자들은 광대역 서비스를 요구하고 있다. 이를 가입자에게 제공하기 위해서는 광대역폭을 지원할 수 있는 FTTH(Fiber to The Home)의 실현이 필수적이며, FTTH의 고비용과 설비 문제를 해결하기 위한 대안으로 PON(Passive Optical Network)이 부상하고 있다. PON은 네트워크를 시스템이 아닌 소자로 구성해, 일정거리까지는 하나의 광 회선을 설치하고 스플리터를 중심으로 여러 개로 회선을 분배하는 것이다. 이 또한 스플리터의 한계로 분배할 수 있는 회선이 제한적이며, 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing)-PON이 고려되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 WDM-PON에 적용할 수 있는 Ethemet 기반의 광 송수신 채널 유닛을 설계하였다. 채널 유닛은 1000BASE-T Ethernet 신호를 입력받아 파장별 DFB-LD에 직접 변조하는 방식을 사용하여 구현하였다

초고속 인터넷 서비스가 널리 보급된 상황에서 서비스 품질과 콘텐츠의 사용 대역 증가 현상이 날로 가속화되고 있다. 이에 따라 전송속도가 거리에 제한받지 않는 광통신 기술이 품질과 대역 조건을 만족시키는 가입자 액세스망 기술로 각광 받고 있다. 현재는 점대점(point-to-Point) 광통신 기술을 이용한 광 대역서비스가 제공되고 있으나, 밀집 지역과 분산 지역 그리고 음영 지역의 각 가입자 단까지 고가의 광선로를 포설해야 하는 경제적 부담을 주고 있다. PON(Passive Optical Network) 기술은 점대점 광통신 기술에서 제기되는 경제적 비효율성을 극복하고, 더 나아가 FTTC, FTTB에서 FTTH로의 진화를 용이하게 하는 점대다점(point-to-multipoint) 광통신 기술이다. PON 기술은 ATM 기반의 B-PON(Broadband-PON) 방식과, Ethernet 기반의 E-PON(Ethernet-PON) 방식이 현재 상용화 단계에 있으며, 이 방식들은 상하향 데이터 전송을 위해 단일 파장을 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 PON 기술동향 및 발전전망에 대해 알아보고, B-PON 및 E-PON 기술 분석한 뒤, 국내 환경에 가장 적합한 서비스 제공 방안을 제안하고자 한다.

In recent, the communication networks of wind power farm are becoming crucial technologies for monitoring and controlling the large-scale offshore wind power farm. In this paper, EPON based communication network architectures are proposed in order to combat the problems of conventional Ethernet based communication network such as delay, data processing overhead and the fairness of data transmission among turbines in offshore wind power farm. The proposed architecture constructs the point to multi-point network by using OLT and ONUs installed in central control center and wind turbines respectively. The EPON based communication network architecture has low cost, high reliability, and fair transmission capability. To evaluate the performance of proposed architectures, the wind power farm based on IEC 61850 is modelled by using OPNET The simulation results are analyzed and compared with conventional Ethernet based communication network in terms of the overhead, delay and fairness of data transmission.

We apply IEEE 802.3 frame burst mode (FBM) to the Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) downstream link and compare its performance with non-frame burst mode for various traffic patterns. Although in light traffic loads (p<0.5) the efficiency of the FBM mechanism is not significant, it does feature high throughput, small jitter, low queue occupancy, and short queuing delay in optical line terminals under various traffic loads with various numbers of optical network units (ONUs). The FBM performance always approaches that of full-duplex mode, especially under heavy traffic loads (p>0.5). Moreover, an increase in number of ONUs will decrease the burst performance. Our work shows that FBM scheme is very useful for EPON transmission and has low design complexity.

PON (Passive Optical Network) is an emerging local subscriber access architecture that provides more bandwidth and services to subscriber than DSL (Digital Subscriber Line and HFC (Hybrid-Fiber Coaxial) network. A PON is a point-to-multipoint optical network with no active elements in the signals' path from source to destination. Advantages of using PON for a subscriber access network include large coverage area, reduced fiber deployment, multicast and broadcast capabilities, reduced cost of maintenance (due to devices being passive), and ease of upgrades to higher bit rate or additional wavelengths. PON uses WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technique that transmits the downstream and upstream data at each different wavelength. For transmitting the CATV (Community Antenna television) service through PON network, we give out additional wavelength. This study shows the available TPS (Triple play service) architecture using CATV overlay EPON (Ethernet PON) architecture and analyzes the effects of EPON-based CATV transmission by measuring the power loss fur each wavelength and the power range of the available analog wavelength and RF.

Passive Optical Network(PON) architecture is a very simple. However media access protocol is necessary to the PON because the ONUs should share a channel in the upsteam direction. We propose the design of dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm for improved bandwidth utilization in the broad bandwidth access network that uses Ethernet PON. The object of our study shall be to decrease a unused remainder bandwidth of granted timeslot for a upstream traffic transmission. We propose that OLT notifies ONU of maximum transmission window during discovery and ONU request a amount under maximum transmission window after it checks a frame length. We confirm that the proposed algorithm shown improving performance from bandwidth utilization and queueing delay point of view through the simulation result.

In this paper, we deal with a new techno-economic modeling and analysis for optical access networks. In deploying the fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) architecture, network planner needs to consider the following techno-economic issues: when do we need to upgrade existing local access network to FTTH network? how much do we invest to maximize profit? In order to answer these techno-economic questions, we need to consider the impact of emerging technologies and business environment. Toward this end, we develop a new techno-economic modeling to deal with the inherent complexity of technology evolution and cost economics. In particular, the new modeling approach provides us with an techno-economic analysis of technology alternatives such as ethernet passive optical network (E-PON) and wavelength division multiplex passive optical network (WDM-PON). In this analysis, we focus on the impact of critical factors such as the cost characteristic of proposed architecture and digital subscriber line (DSL) subscriber's churn-in to FTTH service and churn-out. We develop mixed integer-programming models for finding the evolution path of local access networks to broadband network architectures.

This paper evaluates performance degradation of an NG-EPON (1next-generation Ethernet-passive opticla network) system due to an unused remainder of a grant. Since a packet segmentation is not permitted in NG-EPON, a grant is wasted if the grant size is less than the packet size. Using simulations, we evaluate performance degradation due to the unused remainder.
