The Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) has been considered to be one of the most promising solutions for the implementation of the Fiber To The Home (FTTH) technology designed to ameliorate the "last mile" bandwidth bottleneck. In the EPON network, an efficient and fair bandwidth allocation is a very important issue, since multiple optical network units (ONUs) share a common upstream channel for packet transmission. To increase bandwidth utilization, an EPON system must provide a way to adaptively allocate the upstream bandwidth among multiple ONUs in accordance to their bandwidth demands and requirements. We present a new hybrid method that satisfies these requirements. The advantage of our method comes from the consideration of application-specific bandwidth allocation and the minimization of the idle bandwidth. Our simulation results show that our proposed method outperforms existing dynamic bandwidth allocation methods in terms of bandwidth utilization.

In this paper, we design and implement the upstream packet bandwidth allocation algorithm on OPNET-based DOCSIS 3.0 simulator including channel-bonding CM (Cable Modem)s. Previous DOCSIS CM could not support channel bonding, it has problem in upstream bandwidth allocation and determine the contention area. The proposed upstream bandwidth allocation algorithm has been improved the queuing time and success rate. For the simulation, we design the MAC frame structure with channel bonding supported CM and not. And then, this paper design and implement the CMTS node model, CM node model, CMTS process model, and CM process model.

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.

This paper proposes a new dynamic polling method for XGPON1 (10-Gbps-capable passive optical network stage 1). XGPON1 system supports 2.5 Gbps for upstream and 10 Gbps for downstream. In XGPON1 system, if the polling frequency is high, then the efficiency of dynamic bandwidth allocation increases whereas the upstream bandwidth is wasted. The proposed method decreases the upstream bandwidth wastage owing to polling and efficiently increases the polling frequency.

In this paper, we design a two-step scheduling algorithm to support multiple bandwidth allocation policies for upstream channel access in an Ethernet passive optical network. The proposed scheduling algorithm allows us a simultaneous approach for multiple access control policies: static bandwidth allocation for guaranteed bandwidth service and dynamic bandwidth allocation for on-demand, dynamic traffic services. In order to reduce the scheduling complexity, we separate the process of the transmission start- time decision from the process of grant generation. This technique does not require the timing information of other bandwidth allocation modules, so respective modules are free from a heavy amount of timing information or complex processing.

One of the most important things in EPON(Ethernet Passive Optical Network) is that ONUs(Optical Network Units) have to share a channel in upstream direction. We proposed a new algorithm of Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation using Multiple LLID(Logical Link IDentifier). We show how to allocate bandwidth in Queues for improving performance from Bandwidth using Multiple LLID.

As broadband access is evolving from digital subscriber lines to optical access networks, Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs) are considered a promising solution for next generation broadband access. The point-to-multipoint topology of EPONs requires a time-division multiple access MAC protocol for upstream transmission. In this paper, we propose a new enhanced dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm with fairness called EFDBA for multiple services over EPONs. The proposed algorithm is composed of a fairness counter controller and a fairness system buffer in the optical line terminal. The EFDBA algorithm with fairness can provide increased capability and efficient resource allocation in an EPON system. In the proposed EFDBA algorithm, the optical line termination allocates bandwidth to the optical network units in proportion to the fairness weighting counter number associated with their class and queue length. The proposed algorithm provides efficient resource utilization by reducing the unused remaining bandwidth made by idle state optical network units.

The subscriber access network is cause of the bottleneck phenomenon because equipment and infrastructure were not originally designed for busty high-bandwidth traffic between MAN(Metro Area Network) and LAN(Local Area Network). Whether riding on shorter copper drops or optical fiber, Ethernet is emerging as the future broadband protocol of choice, offering plug and play simplicity, and low cost. EPON(Ethernet Passive Optical Network) combines point-to-multipoint optical infrastructure with low-cost high-bandwidth Ethernet. The future broadband access network will be a combination of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint Ethernet, optimized for transporting IP data, as well as time critical voice and video. EPON is being considered as a novel communications infrastructure for next-generation broadband access network for the convergence of low-cost Ethernet equipment and low-cost fiber infrastructure. But, EPON has a problem with duplex multimedia services. It is the insufficiency of bandwidth for upstream. Because all ONUs use a shared transmission media for upstream. In this paper, we addressed the problem of upstream bandwidth in EPONs. We presented a wavelength division EPON supporting QoS in the differentiated services framework.

This paper evaluates performance of a dynamic wavelength and bandwidth allocation algorithm of TWDM PON (time and wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network) which consists of an OLT (optical line termination) and multiple ONU (optical network unit). The allocation algorithm reduces the number of upstream wavelengths to save power. Using self-similar traffic, we simulate TWDM PON systems and measure the average packet delay and the average number of upstream wavelengths.

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.
