Abstract :
Ethernet-based PON (EPON) technology is being pushed as the answer for delivering data and other services to both business and residential customers. Dynamic bandwidth assignment (DBA) is necessary for EPONs to provide burst data services effectively. To focus on good fairness of bandwidth assignment, high bandwidth utilization, low cost and feasibility, a novel upstream DBA scheme for the Ethernet PONs is proposed in this paper. Issues of DBA design in EPON systems are investigated. The key performance of novel scheme through simulation is described and the simulation results show the scheme is fair and feasible.
