In this paper, we explain a various fiber to the home technology and give some important standardization status. And, passive optical networks which are WDM-PON, Ethernet PON and/or Gigabit-PON will be mainly deployed in populated subscriber area and multiple dwelling units with taking great advantage of OPEX. And finally we discuss FTTH deployment strategy with low capital cost.

WDM-PON has been receiving much attention as a key technology to FTTH. As the cost of WDM-PON heavily depends on the number of transceivers implemented at ONU, one of its shortcomings comes from the fixed provision of wavelength resource, which is tightly coupled with costly transceivers. In this paper, we propose a cost-effective WDM-PON architecture for dynamic resource provision. The proposed architecture is based on hierarchical grouping of multiple ONUs into a logical group and hierarchical sharing the resource. For high utilization of dynamic resource, the dynamic resource allocation algorithm is also proposed. We analyze the system efficiency in term of dynamism of system resource and system cost. We also verify that the proposed resource allocation algorithm achieves a high dynamism on resource allocation, and at the same time maintains the fairness between ONUs.

A WDM-PON has been considered as an ultimate solution for access networks. However, there were many technical and practical issues for commercial deployment. These issues were solved with wavelength locked F-P LD and the WDM-PONs employing this optical source were commercialized. These WDM-PON systems have been deployed in Korea, Europe, and US. We reviewed wavelength locking technology and WDM-PON achievements. When we inject spectrum sliced broadband light into an F-P LD, the multimode output is changed to a quasi single mode. Then, we can use the single mode light for WDM signal transmission. The broad spectral gain of the semiconductor gain medium enables a color-free operation of WDM-PON, i.e., an identical ONT can be used for each user. The wavelength locking properties depend on many parameters, especially alignment of injection wavelength to a lasing mode, passband profile of AWG and front facet reflectivity of F-P LD. However, these dependencies can be reduced by proper design of the laser and the injection bandwidth. Thus, WDM-PON systems have been achieved with color-free operation.

WDM-PON은 가입자망의 트래픽 병목 현상을 해결하고, 다양한 서비스 품질을 제공하면서 고속화된 데이터 전송을 위해 가입자 당 독립 파장을 할당함으로써 가입자의 요구 대역에 제한을 받지 않으며, 보안성이 보장되는 차세대 WDM 기반 수동형 광가입자망이다. 특히 고성능, 저가인 광소자를 포함한 광모듈의 조기개발이 FTTH 네트워크 초기 시장 및 서비스를 선점하는 척도가 될 것으로 예상된다. 본 논문은 WDM 기반 수동형 광가입자망 동작 방식, 광다중화기 및 역다중화기, 그리고 WDM -PON과 WDM 다중화 기술인WDM/TDM, WDM/SCM, WDM/CDM을 포함한 다양한 광 수동 가입자망 구성 기술을 소개한다.

일반주택지역을 위한 초고속인터넷 제공방안은 xDSL과 HFC 기술방식이 적용되어 왔다. HFC는 전송속도의 기술적 한계를 가지며, xDSL은 기존 동선을 활용하는 솔루션으로 경제적인 장점을 가지지만 동선 선로품질에 따라 품질저하가 발생한다. 이에 UTP케이블이 기포설된 1등급 아파트에만 공급 가능하였던 100Mbit/s 패스트이더넷을 일반주택지역에 공급하기 위한 유사FTTH 시스템이 개발되어 현장에 운용 중이다. 광코어 절감 및 운용유지 측면을 고려하여 WDM-PON (Wavelength Division Multiplexing-Passive Optical Network, 파장분기 수동형광가입자망) 방식을 채택하였으며, 가입자 인근 전주까지 광케이블이 포설되어 ONU(Optical Network Unit)가 설치되며, ONU로부터 가입자 댁내 단말까지 가공형 UTP케이블을 통해 패스트이더넷을 공급하는 방식이다.

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

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.
