In this paper, we investigate the mean queue length and the mean packet delay of a dynamic bandwidth allocation(DBA) scheme in an Ethernet passive optical network(EPON). We focus on the interleaved polling system with a gated service discipline. We assume that input packets arrive at an optical network unit(ONU) according to Poisson process. We use a continuous time queueing model in order to find the queue length distribution of the gated interleaved polling system with the first stage input queue and the second stage transmission queue. We give some numerical results to investigate the mean queue lengths and mean packet delays for the symmetric polling system with statistically identical stations.

In this paper, we analyze the performances of variable MAC (Medium Access Control) protocols and present an efficient MAC protocol for Ethernet PON (Passive Optical Network). We consider three MAC protocols: static TDMA, dynamic TDMA, and Interleaved polling. Static TDMA assigns an equal amount of bandwidth to all ONUs regardless of the request information but Dynamic TDMA dynamically allocates the bandwidth to each ONU considering its request. Interleaved Polling operates a cycle with variable time period and a polling method for informing a uplink transmission chance to each ONU. This paper theoretically analyzes the available bandwidth for each of three protocols. We also implement the simulation models for them by using OPNET and evaluates the performances under various bursty traffic environments. The results are compared and analyzed in terms of channel utilization and queueing delay.

This paper proposes and analyzes a new media access control (MAC) scheduling algorithm, “Interleaved Polling with Deficit Round Robin (IPDRR)” that supports weighted fairness among ONUs in Ethernet Passive Optical Network (PON). The purpose of the proposed IPDRR algerian is not only to eliminate the unused bandwidth of upstream ONU traffic, but also to provide weighted fair sharing of upstream bandwidth among ONUs in Ethernet PON systems. Simulation results show that the IPDRR improves the utilization of upstream channel by removing the unused bandwidth and provides weighted fairness among ONUs, although the IPACT scheduling is unfair according to traffic characteristics.

This paper proposes a dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm with adaptive maximum transmission window (DBA-AMTW) to increase channel utilization in Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs). A polling mechanism in EPON determines channel utilization and puts constraints on DBA algorithm and scheduling. DBA algorithms based on interleaved polling with stop (IPS) allocate transmission windows to optical network units (ONU) considering requests of all ONUs. However channel idle time when any ONU does not transmit packets decreases channel utilization. Proposed DBA-AMTW improves efficiency of a network and allocates transmission windows effectively by appropriate DBA computation from REPORT messages of all ONUs. An adaptive maximum transmission window for each ONU determined by a DBA computation in the previous scheduling cycle. Simulation results show that the proposed DBA algorithm improves performance of throughput and average delay time.

Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs) are an emerging access network technology that provide a low-cost method of deploying optical access lines between a carrier's central office and customer sites. Dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) provides statistical multiplexing between the optical network units for efficient upstream channel utilization. To support dynamic bandwidth distribution, 1 propose an cyclic polling-based DBA algorithm for differentiated classes of service in EPONs. And, I show that an interleaved polling scheme severely decreases downstream channel capacity for user traffics when the upstream network load is low. To obtain realistic simulation results, I used synthetic traffic that exhibits the properties of self-similarity and long-range dependence I then analyzed the network performance under various loads, specifically focusing on packet delays for different classes of traffic.

Ethernet passive optical network(EPON) is the next-generation technology for supporting services of high-quality at low-cost. In the EPON, all optical network units(ONUs) have to share a limited uplink channel for upstream data. In order to satisfy bandwidth demands of users on high-capacity local access networks(LANs), the optical line terminal(OLT) efficiently divides and allocates time slots of uplink channel to all ONUs. We discuss previous schemes for dynamic bandwidth allocation(DBA), such as interleaved polling with adaptive cycle time(IPACT) and sliding cycle time(SLICT). In this paper, dynamic right sizing of maximum-windows(DRSM), as a novel bandwidth allocation service, is proposed for more effective and efficient time slot allocation of the uplink channel. DRSM which is based on past information of bandwidth allocated by OLT calculates maximum available bandwidth and dynamically alters the maximum window size for the next ONU. This scheme does not only exert every effort to meet bandwidth demands of ONUs with the possible scope, it also seeks fairness of bandwidth allocation among ONUs.

In this paper, we examine Interleaved Polling with Adaptive Cycle Time (IPACT) algorithm which was proposed to control upstream traffic for Gigabit Ethernet-PONs, and we analyze the performance of the gated service and the limited service of the IPACT mathematically. For the mathematical performance analysis, we model IPACT algorithm as a polling system and use mean-value analysis. We divide arrival rate λ value into three regions and analyze each region accordingly. We obtain average packet delay, average queue size and average cycle time of both the gated and the limited service. We compare analytical results with simulation to verify the accuracy of the mathematical analysis. Upon now, simulation analysis have been used to evaluate the performance of EPONs, which require much time sud effort. Mathematical analysis can be widely used in the design of EPON systems since system designers can obtain various performance results rapidly.

An Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) is a low-cost, high-speed solution to the bottleneck problem of a broadband access network. This paper analyzes the delay and the jitter performance of dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) schemes for differentiated services in EPONs. Especially, the average packet delay and the delay jitter of the expedited forwarding (EF) traffic class are compared, with consideration as to whether a cyclic or an interleaved polling scheme is superior. This performance evaluation reveals that the cyclic polling based DBA scheme provides constant and predictable average packet delay and improved jitter performance for the EF traffic class without the influence of load variations.

In this paper, we analyze mathematically the performance of the gated service scheduling in the Interleaved Polling with Adaptive Cycle Time(IPACT) was proposed to control upstream traffic for Gigabit Ethernet-PONs. In the analysis, we model EPON MAC protocol as a polling system and use mean value analysis. We divide arrival rate λ into three regions and analyze each region accordingly In the first region in which λ value is very small, there are very few ONUs' data to be transmitted. In the second region in which λ has reasonably large value, ONUs have enough data for continuous transmission. In the third region, ONUs' buffers are always saturated with data since λ value is very large. We obtain average packet delay, average Queue size, average cycle time of the gated service. We compare analysis results with simulation to verify the accuracy of the mathematical analysis. Simulation requires much time and effort to evaluate the performance of EPONs. On the other hand, mathematical analysis can be widely used in the design of EPON systems because system designers can obtain various performance results rapidly. We can design appropriate EPON systems for varioustraffic property by adjusting control parameters.
