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.

파장 다중 분할 Ethernet PON(Passive Optical Network)은 최근 들어 활발하게 연구되고 있는 경제적이고 효율적인 가입자망 구조이다. 가입자망의 구조가 다양하게 진화하고 광 이더넷 기술이 발전하면서 가입자에게 최적의 대역폭을 할당하기 위해 파장 다중 분할 Ethernet PON에서도 서비스별 대역폭 할당방식을 제공해야 할 필요성이 커지고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 사용자의 대역폭 요구에 따라 OLT(Optical Line Termination)가 각 ONU(Optical Network Unit)에게 서로 다른 방식으로 대역폭을 할당하는 과장 다중 분할 Ethernet PON 모델을 제시하고 구현한다. 그리고, ONU의 큐잉 지연과 단대단 Etherent 지연에 대한 분석을 통해 모델의 효율성을 제시한다.

Ethernet-PON is an emerging access network technology that provides a low-cost method of deploying optical access lines between OLT and ONUs. It has a point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-point architecture in downstream and upstream direction, respectively. Therefore, downstream packets are broadcast from an OLT toward all ONUs sithout collision. On the other hand, since alt ONUs share a common channel, the collision may be occurred for the upstream transmission. Therefore, earlier efforts on Ethernet-PON have been concentrated on an upstream MAC protocol to avoid collision. But it is needed to control downstream traffic in practical access network, where the network provider limits available bandwidth according to the number of users. In this paper, we propose a traffic control scheme for supporting the fairness of the downstream bandwidth. The objective of this algorithm is to guarantee the fairness of ONUs while maintaining good performance. In order to do this, we define the service probability that considers the past traffic information for downstream, the number of tokens and the relative size of negotiated bandwidth. We develop the simulation model for Ethernet-PON to evaluate the rate-limiting algorithm by using AWESIM. Some results are evaluated and analyzed in terms of defined fairness factor, delay and dropping rate under various scenario.

We propose the asymmetric 2.5Gbps/622Mbps PON(Passive Optical Network) in order to reduce the bandwith of filter at receiver with inverse RZ(Return to Zero) code coded downstream and NRZ(Non Return to Zero) upstream re-modulation. I theoretically analyze BER(Bit Error Rate) performance and the power sensitivity with the optimal threshold level by performing simulation with MATLAB according to the types of downstream data. The results have shown that the optimal threshold level at the optical receiver could be saturated at 0.33 as the optical received power increase more than -26dBm to keep $10^{-12}$ of BER to a minimum. Also the power sensitivity is more improved by about 3dB by fixing the threshold level at 0.33 than the conventional receiver. The proposed system can be a useful technology for optical access networks with asymmetric upstream and downstream data rates because the optical receiver can be used without controlling threshold levels and that does not require a light source in optical network unit (ONU) and its control circuits in the optical line termination (OLT).

Backgrounds/Aims: The role of inflammation in malignant cell proliferation has been well described. High values of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as markers of systemic inflammation have shown associations with unfavorable long-term outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine values of NLR and PLR evaluated prior to and after surgery and their associations with mortality and recurrence rates of liver transplant patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: A total of 105 patients with HCC who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) were retrospectively reviewed. NLR and PLR values were obtained from complete blood counts prior to and after surgery. Overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in relation with delta NLR and PLR were estimated. Results: Serum alpha-fetoprotein levels > 100 ng/mL (p = 0.014) and lymphovascular emboli in the specimen (p = 0.048) were identified to be significant predictors of RFS. Child-Pugh score (p = 0.016) was found to be an independent factor associated with poorer OS. An increasing delta PLR was associated with worse RFS, although it showed no significant association with OS. Conclusions: The analysis of PLR as a continuous variable may predict recurrence outcomes in patients undergoing OLT for HCC. It is more representative than isolated values.

IEEE ratified IEEE802.3ah as the standard of E-PON, while it leaved the specific method of upstream bandwidth allocation as a role of implementation vendors. Many experts have researched the method of enhancing upstream bandwidth throughput and released related papers. This paper presents another novel mechanism to enhance upstream throughput. This mechanism performs the management of upstream queues by giving the minimum bandwidth of different level to each queue. In order to process packets on each queue we adopted a modified weighted DRR technology. By doing so, the transmission throughput of upstream packets can be largely enhanced. The experimental simulation of this mechanism showed an enhancement of bandwidth utilization more than 10% in comparison to legacy method.

EPONs are a low cost, high speed solution to the bottleneck problem of broadband access networks. To support point-to-point and shared LAN emulation, EPONs use the multi-point control protocol (MPCP), which uses logical link identification (LLID) for frame tagging and filtering between the OLT and ONUs. In this paper, ONU-based multicast or multiple shared LAN emulation is used for IPTV channel package delivery services. Using ONU-based VLAN services, EPONs can support separate and secure connections between providers and subscribers in a simple manner. Also, IPTV channel packages can be delivered through EPONs by implementing ONU-based VLAN and IGMP snooping mechanisms. By showing fast channel zapping time of proposed architecture, I show that EPONs is suitable for IPTV channel package delivery service.

Upstream data frame of TDM-PON includes various types of overheads, and there exist guard bands between consecutive frames from different ONUs. Although they are indispensible in synchronization and performance, they cause bandwidth waste at the same time. To solve this problem, a new TDM-PON that uses two types of wavelengths in upstream transmission is suggested. By even distribution of two wavelengths among ONUs and overhead overlap between frames that use different wavelengths, almost 100% bandwidth efficiency could be achieved. A serializer that multiplexes signals from two wavelengths is implemented for this purpose.

In this paper, we develope the simulation model for Ethernet passive optical networks (Ethernet-PON) by using OPNET. Ethernet-PON is an emerging access network technology that provides a low-cost method of deploying optical access lines. The simulator uses a Request/Grant TDMA MAC protocol based on IEEE 802.3ah EFM. It also executes registration, ranging and dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm by exchanging control packets between OLT and ONUs. We have evaluated for success ratio of initial registration process and delay of late registration process. We also have simulated for dynamic TDMA protocol and static TDMA protocol in terms of channel utilization and queueing delay. We expect that this simulator can help to determine various parameters which are considered for designing Ethernet-PON system.
