Passive optical networks (PONs) are the emerging solution for access networks since PONs provide high bandwidth and the low operation cost. In recent, the new solution in access networks is TWDM PON which is a mixture of WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing) and TDM (time-division multiplexing). This paper proposes a new MAC (media access control) protocol for TWDM PON. In addition, this paper proposes and evaluates a new dynamic bandwidth allocation method for TWDM PON.

This paper proposes a new DBA (dynamic bandwidth allocation) algorithm for a TWDM PON (time and wave-division multiplexing passive optical network) which is based on XGPON (10-Gigibit-Capable PON). Modifying a DBA algorithm of an XGPON, the proposed algorithm not only allocates the transmission slot but also assigns a wavelength to use for each ONU.

Passive optical networks (PONs) are the emerging solution for access networks since PONs provide high bandwidth. TDM ((time-division multiplexing) PON cannot support sufficient bandwidth for new broadband services such as UHD (ultra high-definition) IP TV, and VOD (video on demand). The solution is TWDM PON which is a mixture of WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing) and TDM. This paper proposes a new MAC (media access control) protocol for TWDM PON.

TWDM PON (time and wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network) uses multiple wavelengths to transmit packets upstream and downstream. In upstream transmission, if we use only one wavelength, the unused bandwidth is equally distributed to each ONU (optical network unit). In contrast, when multiple wavelengths are used, the unused remainders of wavelengths are different from each other. Therefore, it is difficult to fairly allocate the unused bandwidth to each ONU. This paper proposes a new method to allocate the unused bandwidth to each ONU in TWDM PON which uses multiple wavelengths.

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.

This paper proposes a new dynamic wavelength allocation algorithm for TWDM PON (time and wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network) which comprises of multiple ONUs (optical network units) which have low-speed wavelength tuner. The wavelength tuner requires large amount of frame times to tune its wavelength. An OLT (optical line termination) performs a dynamic bandwidth allocation after the wavelengths of ONUs are determined.

This paper proposes a new dynamic wavelength and bandwidth allocation algorithm for 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 proposed algorithm dynamically limits the number of the upstream wavelengths based on the request amount of ONUs to save power.

A large incoherent crosstalk (IC) caused by amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise power from Tx-disabled optical network units and a differential path loss has been shown to degrade upstream transmission performance in time-division multiplexing passive optical networks. This paper considers the IC-induced power penalty of an upstream signal both in an XG-PON and in a TWDM-PON. We investigate the degradation of the extinction ratio and relative intensity noise through a simulation and experiments. For the XG-PON case, we observe a 9.6 dB difference in the level of ASE noise power from Tx-disabled ONUs (hereafter known simply as ASE noise) between our result and the ITU-T XG-PON PMD recommendation. We propose an optical filtering method to mitigate an IC-induced power penalty. In the TWDM-PON case, the IC-induced power penalty is naturally negligible because the ASE noise is filtered by a wavelength multiplexer at the optical line terminal. The results provide design guidelines for the level of ASE noise in both XG-PONs and TWDM-PONs.
