Abstract: | The Gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON) technology is being considered as a promising solution for the next-generation
broadband access network. Since the network topology of the GPON is point-tomultipoint, a media access control called dynamic
bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm is an important factor for determining the performance of the GPON. In this paper, we
propose a new DBA algorithm to effectively and fairly allocate bandwidths among end users. This DBA algorithm supports differentiated
services—a crucial requirement for a converged broadband access network with heterogeneous traffic. In this article we first
reviewed the signaling and configuration of the DBA, and then proposed a new DBA scheme that implemented QoS-based priority
for this need to maximally satisfy the requirements of all optical network units (ONUs) and provide differentiated services.
Analyses and simulation results show that the new algorithm can improve the bandwidth utilization and realize the fairness
for both different ONUs and services. |
